The ministries of Fisheries and Aquaculture (MPA) and Science and Technology (MCT) will invest more than BRL 7.3 million (USD 4 million) this year in the Brazilian fishing sector.
The National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) will fund fisheries research, the improvement of the productive chain of the Northern fishing fleet using driftnets, and lobster vessels of the North and north-eastern zones of the country.
The Council will be in charge of contracting researchers who will develop the studies.
The financial resources will be used to conduct studies on the development of the anchovy productive chain and create a research and technology network in marine fish-farming.
Some 15 research institutions were selected, which will be in charge of executing the projects.The findings regarding driftnet and lobster fishing should be ready over the next two years.The conclusions of the study on the anchovy productive chain and the marine fish-farming research network will be available within a period of three years.
The achievement of those studies represents the continuity of research-and-technology actions of the plan ‘More Fishing and Aquaculture,' launched in 2007 by the MPA.
