Year of grant: 2025 Research Area: MARiNAO Project type: Post.doc.-verkætlan Project title: REDADVANCE: Harnessing genomics to improve future sustainable management of redfish on the Ridge Grant number: 8022 Project manager: Einar Eg Nielsen Institution/company: DTU Aqua Other participants: Fróðskaparsetur Føroya, Havstovan, Grønlands Naturinstitut, Havrannsóknastófun, Havforskningsinstituttet og Universitetet i Agder, Noreg Project period: 01.04.2026-31.03.2029 Total budget: Kr. 6.278.003 Grant from the FRC in DKK: Kr. 3.598.686 Project description: Strengthening the resilience of fishery-targeted species requires understanding of local inter-breeding groups, or "subpopulations" with distinct genetic characteristics. Sebastes mentella, an important species to the Ridge region, has three depth-associated ecotypes and a complex biology that challenges the management. REDADVANCE will describe the ecotypes’ genomic architecture, identify subpopulations, map their spatial distribution and translate the results into management tools and advice for its sustainable management. The project will generate crucial knowledge of marine biodiversity in the Ridge while strengthening research capacity (e.g. training of one postdoc) and creating a strong collaboration network among the institutions of this interdisciplinary Consortium.
