In accordance with the Call (BG-10-2014), SUCCESS will in particular identify "success stories", defined as innovative or alternative ways of running aquaculture and fisheries businesses. These exemplary cases will be reported during the project, in order to understand how likely they are to modify the economic performances of production activities, and improve the competitiveness of the seafood industry. In addition, as part of the dissemination activity, it was decided to produce a film presenting some selected successful cases. As part of the SUCCESS Special Session, we propose (1) to present the methodology followed to identify the potential "success stories", (2) to describe the cases selected and (3) to show a preliminary compilation of the first films
