The Fish Counter is an award-wining eatery and market in Vancouver, British Columbia, which is dedicated to**offering responsibly fished seafood products. The company is interested in the gooseneck barnacle, a unique,**Aboriginal fishery that is sustainably harvested. A major constraint is that gooseneck barnacles cannot currently**be supplied reliably enough to meet continuous market demand. Although the commercial gooseneck barnacle**fishery is open year-round, inclement winter weather results in dangerous harvesting conditions, which leads to**a lack of available product during those times. Given that gooseneck barnacles must be harvested alive to**ensure quality, we propose to test two potential solutions to solve the problem of episodic supply. First, we will**test freezing protocols that could extend the shelf life of the product without loss of quality. Second, we will**test methods of ocean storage of live barnacles near the harvest location. With company staff, we will develop**product quality indices to provide objective measurements of the success of the live and freezing storage**options that we will develop. The BC gooseneck barnacle harvest is important for Aboriginal cultural and**economic reasons. This project offers a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between harvesters and buyers,**like our partner the Fish Counter, by co-developing an action plan that could lead to a larger-scale sustainable**fishery and broadening local, national and international markets for this unique product.

Fish Counter 是一家位于不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华的屡获殊荣的餐馆和市场，致力于**提供负责任的捕捞海鲜产品。该公司对鹅颈藤壶感兴趣，这是一种独特的**土著渔业，可持续捕捞。一个主要的限制是鹅颈藤壶目前无法可靠地供应以满足持续的市场需求。尽管商业鹅颈藤壶**渔业全年开放，但恶劣的冬季天气导致危险的捕捞条件，从而导致**在这段时间内缺乏可用的产品。鉴于鹅颈藤壶必须活摘才能确保质量，我们建议测试两种潜在的解决方案来解决间歇性供应问题。首先，我们将**测试可以延长产品保质期而不损失质量的冷冻方案。其次，我们将测试在收获地点附近海洋储存活藤壶的方法。我们将与公司员工一起开发**产品质量指数，以客观衡量我们将开发的活体和冷冻储存**选项的成功与否。 BC 省鹅颈藤壶收获对于原住民文化和**经济原因非常重要。该项目提供了一个独特的机会，通过共同制定一项行动计划来弥合收割者和买家之间的差距，**就像我们的合作伙伴 Fish Counter 一样，可以实现更大规模的可持续**渔业并扩大地方、国家和国际范围这种独特产品的市场。
