Biomarq'indic
Output characterisation | |
OUTPUT SENTENCE | Biomarkers and bioindicators complementarity to assess rivers ecological status. |
OUTPUT TYPE | methodology |
WATER TOPIC | Quality of natural systems |
KEYWORDS | Biomarkers and bioindicators |
KEYWORDS TYPE | Water quality |
MARKET NEED TAILORED | Within water framework directive, bioindicators are principal ways for biological evaluation. This project will help to complete diagnosis with complementary methods. |
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION | The project will study biomarquers and bioindicators answers to quality levels to obtain a likely complementarity between the two tools. |
STATE OF DEVELOPMENT | Beginning of the research. |
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES | If biomarkers can be developed as routine tools, it will complete perfectly bioindicators used to evaluate ecological status and which are not always accurate. |
INTELLECTUAL/INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS | Biossays will be performed with trademark product (VIGIWATER from VigiCell society). |
TRANSFERABILITY | If the project succeeds, it will be easy to transfert methods in other european countries. |
POTENTIAL USERS/CLIENTS | Authorities in charge of surface water quality. |
Estimation of risks | |
INNOVATIVE DISADVANTAGE | It will be a costly technology. |
EVALUATION OF RISKS FOR OUTPUT USERS | Probably, the society will want to sell its bioessay methods. Output users will have to pay... |
ECONOMICAL RISKS | High risks. |
TECHNICAL RISKS | Medium risks. |
MARKET RISKS | High risks. |
SOCIAL RISKS | Low risks. |
Steps ahead | |
NEXT STEPS TO ACHIEVE THE STATUS 'READY TO USE' | Project will have to go further before to obtain a final methodology. |
