Joint campaigns of the TOPOMED and FREEZE projects sponsored by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). These two projects share complementary and objective areas of study. The first focuses on the effects of neotectonics on the evolution of landscape and environments and the second on the investigation of underwater discharges of fresh water.
Within Portugal's National Biological Sampling Project (PNAB) a set of activities are conducted in the collection, management and use of biological data, collected from the registered commercial fleet in mainland Portugal (fisheries-dependent data) and several research surveys (independent fisheries data). These activities allow the assessment of the state of fishery resources, population structure, distribution and abundance of resources, diversity and dynamics of biological communities associated with the fishery resources and biological studies (growth, reproduction).The crustaceans campaigns are usually held in June/July with the ship “Noruega” and cover the extension of the Portuguese coast of Alentejo and Algarve.

Nosologic map of the Japanese Shell in mainland Portugal. The health screening of the species population aims the identification and characterization of diseases affecting the Japanese Shell and their characterization both as to its epidemiology (incidence, prevalence and intensity of the disease), as to their impact on production. This information is intended to characterize the different production areas of the species from the health point of view.

Location of the sampling stations considered in the analyzes from IPMA's Metal contaminants Laboratory included in the National Bivalve Molluscs Monitoring System.
Quantification of contaminant metals including mercury, lead and cadmium in bivalve harvested semiannually in bivalve mollusc coastal and transition production areas in mainland Portugal since the year 2014. These analyzes are part of the National monitoring system of bivalve mollusc production areas and are considered in the classification of these areas and in the decision-making relative to their status. The data is collected according to the Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004.

The health screening of the species population aims the identification and characterization of diseases affecting the Pacific Cupped Oyster and their characterization both as to its epidemiology (incidence, prevalence and intensity of the disease), as to their impact on production. This information is intended to characterize the different production areas of the species from the health point of view.
Nosologic map of the Portugese Oyster in mainland Portugal. The health screening of the species population aims the identification and characterization of diseases affecting the Portugese Oyster and their characterization both as to its epidemiology (incidence, prevalence and intensity of the disease), as to their impact on production. This information is intended to characterize the different production areas of the species from the health point of view.
