EVENT Marine Bivalves Cultivation: challenges for the health of the species

The cultivation of marine bivalves faces increasing challenges due to climate change, which has a significant impact on the immune and specific systems, resulting in the emergence of diseases that negatively affect production. It was recently discovered that these organisms are affected by a type of cancer unique in nature that is contagious both between individuals and between species, which represents a new field of study in understanding the disease in nature. In this conversation, Sergio Fernández Boo will explain the challenges facing farmed species and how research can help develop solutions.
