Biomarkers of health and performance in aquacultured fish: the application of antibody based biosensors A well‐known and recurrent threat to aquaculture expansion is related to disease outbreaks that can jeopardized production, can create an environmental problem and can even impact human health. Disease surveillance of aquatic animals could largely benefit from fast, efficient, and cost-effective…
Demonstration of a peptide‑fortified feed in reducing stress effects in fish Mitigating the effects of stress during the early life stages of fish is a critical challenge for the aquaculture industry and for biomedical research that uses zebrafish as an experimental model. In this context, the FORTIFISH project aims to develop fortified functional feeds that…
Integrative breeding strategies for the transition of EUropean AQUAculture towards sustainable ORGanic production Follow the project website The EU and its Member States are investing in research into organic fish production, which offers a solution for food security in Europe. In this context, the EU-funded EUAqua.Org project will enhance European organic fish production by developing…
E-DNA, Microbiomes, Photogrammetry and Hormones – Assessment Techniques In Cetaceans Follow the project website The project EMPHATIC will address challenges in cetacean monitoring, related to distribution range and health; and respond to policy needs by developing relevant indicators of cetacean population status. EMPHATIC combines several emerging research topics, applying non-invasive techniques applicable to live animals:…
Last Tuesday, Sergio Fernández-Boo had the pleasure of speaking in his hometown of Boiro, Galicia, as part of Pint of Science ES, sharing insights from the ShellFishBoost project on climate resilience and the genetic adaptation of molluscs. The topic resonated strongly with the audience, especially given the significant challenges facing Galicia’s shellfish sector in recent…
Last Friday, the team took part in two internal training workshops focused on sharing expertise and strengthening practical skills. The morning session introduced the use of our computer cluster for data analysis, giving team members a better understanding of how to efficiently run and manage computational workflows. In the afternoon, the focus shifted to hands-on…
