Blue Bioeconomy Pact Defending a new sustainable, innovative and decarbonizing paradigm, which finds in the sea a response to the challenge of the global scarcity of terrestrial resources, and bringing together varieties of national industries, the Blue Bioeconomy Pact envisages developing new products, processes and services resulting from incorporation of blue bioeconomy goods into new…
Chlorella vulgaris supplementation as a modulator of the microbiota–gut–brain axis in Dicentrarchus labrax. The resident gut microbiota community has increasingly been recognised as playing a crucial role in several biological mechanisms, including nutrient absorption, immune system regulation, and communication with the brain. The microbiota is influenced by various factors, such as disease and dietary sources….
Initiating the microbiome atlas of Portuguese aquaculture fish species Human population growth increased demand for high-quality protein, putting extreme pressure on animal production, including aquaculture. With the overexploitation of wild fish stocks, aquaculture is an increasingly important protein source and will reach 59% of fish available for human consumption by 2030. This increase in production…
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…
