Type of barrier/bottleneck Problems identified in desk based research production of data Technical / equipment Development and optimisation of appropriate bio-engineering tools Tools and platforms to facilitate high throughput screening of new ‘ information are needed The cultivability of bioactive compounds is constrained by success tissue culture, chemical synthesis and biosynthetic engineering. Lack of bio-assays that can accommodate diverse material from m Need to carry out high-content, broad-target screening (screening o compounds and replication, preventing repeated rediscovery). Sustainability / environmental impact Limitations to harvesting of marine organisms. Harvest of large amounts of marine organisms can cause harm to t environment. Separating bioactive compounds/molecules can be time consuming Other Lack of incentives to scientists to fully commit to product developm alternatives exist (i.e. bio-antifoul product). Study in support of Impact Assessment work on Blue Biotechnology
