VIVALDI (Preventing and Mitigating Farmed Bivalve Diseases)

Vivaldi is a European project launched in 2016, which will reach completion in early 2020. It is funded by the Horizon 2020 research programme and coordinated by Ifremer. There are 21 partners, mostly European, in the project. Nearly four years after its launch, the project is ending. "The results obtained will provide better knowledge about the pathogens affecting shellfish farms, enable us to better understand the factors influencing bivalve mortalities and identify solutions to prevent or mitigate the impact of these diseases", emphasized Isabelle Arzul, an Ifremer researcher (Laboratory of marine mollusk genetics and pathology, La Tremblade) and the coordinator of the Vivaldi project. Special efforts for sampling and analyses were devoted to four key study sites: the Ebro delta and Ria de Vigo in Spain, Dungarvan bay in Ireland, and the Bay of Brest, in France. The project was organized into six work strands with working groups coordinated by different institutes: Strand 1 (Pathogen diversity and cycles): Centre for Environment, Fisheries, and Aquaculture (CEFAS, UK) Strand 2 (Bivalve functional response): Spanish National Research Council (CSIC, SP) Strand 3 (Genetic selection): Ifremer (FR) Strand 4 (Complex interactions between animal/environment/ pathogens): CNRS (FR) Strand 5 (Management measures): Research and Technology Institute for Food and Agriculture (IRTA, SP) Strand 6 (Sharing information): Ifremer (FR)
