RoundGoby partner Raimondas Narkevičius at Kaunas University of Technology hosted Eurofish International Organisation for a special country feature on Lithuania. One of the key topics was the RoundGoby pilot where Raimondas and his team, together with the fish canning factory Baltijos Konservai, are developing tasty and healty round goby canned products. After several tastings, a first pilot product has been developed and next steps include production on industrial scale. Stay tuned for more information on this exciting and important pilot on turning an underutilised fish into tasty products! #RoundGoby #MadewithInterreg #BalticSea #SustainableSeafood SUBMARINER Network for Blue Growth EEIG Marint centrum Interreg Baltic Sea Region TFTAK

Dagen till ära fick jag som stolt Projektledare för Round Goby bära kockkläder! Ovant men riktigt kul att segla fram bland grytor och stekbord. #roundgoby

Our project partner, Valsts zinātniskais institūts BIOR, brought a fresh perspective to the 𝗦𝗲𝗮 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 conference in Stralsund 🇩🇪.   🎙️ Loreta Rozenfelde introduced the RoundGoby project, highlighting the economic potential of the invasive round goby for Baltic Sea fisheries.   However, tapping into its value is not without challenges, including unsuitable gear, unclear regulations, a lack of processing capacity, and no established market.   To address this, we’re exploring: 🔹 Specialised fishing methods 🔹 Product innovation (e.g. pet snacks) 🔹 Policy alignment through stakeholder collaboration   ✅ Feedback from participants was clear: “𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭”, focused on real-world impact.   Let’s keep turning ecological challenges into smart, sustainable opportunities.   #SustainableFisheries #BlueEconomy #BlueInnovation SUBMARINER Network for Blue Growth EEIG Marint centrum Hannes Hall Interreg BSR - Energy Circle Project
