Shrimp electropulse fishing: Study of possible side effects delivers reassuring results
Shrimp electropulse fishing: Study of possible side effects delivers reassuring results
The short electric pulses (“pulse”) used in shrimp electropulse fishing do not cause any malformations in either fish eggs or larvae.

SYMAPA project delivers innovations in shellfish farming, toolkit of successful baiting techniques for passive fishing and tools for smart aquafarming
Precision fishing
The fishing industry is going through the same evolution: hardware, software and apps are being developed for use in catching, processing, on-board operations and marketing, which opens up a world of possibilities for fishermen and researchers.
By precision fishing we mean the development and application of innovative techniques and high-tech solutions for fisheries. These should allow for more and better data collection, more selective fishing with less environmental impact, more efficient operation and management of vessels and fishing activities, and better valorization.

Shipowners, fishers, fishmongers, and the parties involved in the fishing industry policy will find an answer to the question “what can ILVO do for me?” here. You’ll get a brief overview of relevant expertise, analyses, infrastructure, and the professional approach that characterizes ILVO.
ILVO wants to support all those involved in fishing industry management, the fishing industry, and the fishing industry trade in its pursuit of sustainable fishing with the above broad palette of expertise and a modern research infrastructure.

Biological fishery data
In addition, attention is paid to the impact on both quota and non-quota fish species by using alternative fishing techniques.
Ecosystem-oriented marine modeling and management
Models of marine ecosystems are analytic reflections of these ecosystem interactions that can help us to understand ecosystem functioning, assess the current status of the ecosystem, and predict how fishing, other human activities and management may influence the ecosystem's status and functioning.
The Belgian fishing industry is active across the Northeast Atlantic, from the Bay of Biscay, across the Celtic and Irish Sea, and heading east to the English Channel and the North Sea.
