H2020 Eurofleets+ Data Management: an integrated data stewardship approach across multidisciplinary Transnational Access cruises
- In the scope of H2020 Eurofleets+ project, 28 Transnational Access cruises were funded to conduct multidisciplinary scientific research projects. In order to achieve Open data FAIRness, an integrated data management approach has been set up in synergy with the pan-European SeaDataNet infrastructure involving three NODCs as core partners. It resulted in the collection of a tremendous amount of data from which 66% had been preserved, more than 40% made Findable and 30% Interroperable. Achieving successful data management was allowed by a close collaboration and good communication between scientists and NODCs.

AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE OLIGO-MIOCENE CEPHALOPODS OF THE MALTESE ISLANDS
- A systematic checklist of cephalopod fossils (Phylum Mollusca: Class Cephalopoda) recorded from the Oligo-Miocene sedimentary sequence of the Maltese archipelago is given. It consists of species of the nautilid genera Aturia and Eutrephoceras, next to calcified parts of the nautilid animal’s upper jaw placed under the parataxon Rhyncolites, and of sepiid and spirulid coleoid genera Sepia (Sepiida) and Spirulirostra (Spirulirostrida). Cephalopod fossils from the Maltese archipelago, in particular abundant limonitic or phosphoritic specimens of Aturia and Sepia, have been recorded in scientific literature since the middle part of the 19th Century. The identification of several species of Sepia is hampered by lost type material and taphonomic distortion or loss of diagnostic traits.

Monitoring the trade in exotic animal products through DNA barcoding of passenger-imported meat
- The INTERCEPT-project seeks to propose a robust framework for the long-term monitoring of (exotic) animal product imports into Belgium, highlighting the legal and illegal aspects of the trade and its implications for public and animal health. INTERCEPT aims to move towards a centralised database by integrating data from various federal services and agencies to gain a better overview of the trade and to promote the dissemination of crucial information among federal services, agencies, and stakeholders. The project also aims to introduce a secure and efficient sampling method for officials, along with a laboratory species identification pipeline by researchers, which will enable rapid DNA-based identification of illegally imported meat. During the project, meat intercepted from passengers luggage at Brussels Airport is sampled, identified using DNA barcoding and screened for pathogens. At present, 424 specimens have been sampled, of which 315 have been identified so far. About 40% were derived from non-domesticated species, including meat from 10 CITES-listed species. Among the seized wild meat samples, greater cane rat (Thryonomys swinderianus) and African brush-tailed porcupine (Atherurus africanus) were predominant. Six specimens (5%) were misidentified as domestic meat upon seizure, while DNA analyses revealed a wild species. Inversely, twelve specimens (6%) were misidentified as wild meat, while DNA analyses revealed a domestic species. By fostering collaboration among scientific institutions and federal agencies, this initiative aims to inform border control measures, and will support future research into diseases carried by both domestic and exotic meat, allowing better characterisation of the health risks associated with the illegal import of meat from third countries.
