In January 2024, as part of a joint interdisciplinary project (PIM), a group of Masters students from UBO, UBS and ENSTA Bretagne investigated the environmental and societal issues surrounding omega-3s.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This project was part of an interdisciplinary research project funded by ISblue: the OMEGA project<\/a>, which is looking at the effects of the decline in the availability of omega-3s on the world’s populations of small pelagic fish and on human populations.<\/p>\n\n\n

  • – Did you know that there are terrestrial and marine Omega 3s?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • – You’ve heard of omega-3s, but do you really know what they’re used for and where they can be found?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • – Do you know why blue fish such as anchovies and sardines have such a high omega-3 concentration?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The students met scientists from the OMEGA project to discover the origin of omega-3s, their importance for human health and for marine ecosystems, their influence on the price of seafood and the different aspects of an interdisciplinary project (life sciences, marine economics, psycho-sociology).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Do you know what consumers think about seafood? <\/strong>That’s what the students set out to find out by delving into consumers’ views through surveys carried out in Brest and the surrounding area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      This video is a rendition using different media (theatre, graphics and comics), of the students’ experience of carrying out surveys and their results:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
