Three companies working with SEAFOODplus obtained honours in the Prix d'Elite competiton at the European Seafood Exposition 22-24 April 2008 in Brussels. SEAFOODplus had success in exhibiting together with Eurofish.

Eating 150 g of fish, such as salmon or cod three times a week, or taking fish liver oil daily, can improve health variables, like body weight, blood lipids, inflammation and oxidative status. Seafood does not seem to decrease bone loss, which is generally found in weight loss processes.

SEAFOODplus will exhibit at the European Seafood Exposition (ESE) in Brussels 22-24 April 2008, sharing a stand with EUROFISH in Hall 11, Stand 2578.

The CONSENSUS Stakeholder meeting in Ostende 24-25 April is another site where SEAFOODplus will exhibit.

A PhD thesis from the SEAFOODplus consumer research pillar was successfully defended 29 February 2008. Consumers’ health-related beliefs and knowledge about fish have been identified as important determinants of fish consumption.

The outlines of a new science based research platform will be presented at the SEAFOODplus Conference in Copenhagen 8-10 June. An updated programme is now available and can be downloaded. Registration is still open.
