 Output characterisation
OUTPUT SENTENCE

Biomarkers and bioindicators complementarity to assess rivers ecological status.

 
OUTPUT TYPEmethodology 
WATER TOPICQuality of natural systems 
KEYWORDSBiomarkers and bioindicators 
KEYWORDS TYPEWater 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 RISKSHigh risks.
TECHNICAL RISKSMedium risks.
MARKET RISKSHigh risks.
SOCIAL RISKSLow risks.
 Steps ahead
NEXT STEPS TO ACHIEVE THE STATUS 'READY TO USE'

Project will have to go further before to obtain a final methodology.
