We conduct research with new and established aquatic species to improve their quality, domestication, nutrition, productivity and sustainability in the commercial field, as well as for innovation and the development of new biotechnological methods.
We conduct strategic research with technology applied to the breeding, reproduction and cultivation of fish, molluscs, crustaceans, plants and algae that live in salt, brackish or fresh water. We ensure the care and health of farmed animals to also protect the health of consumers and the environment.
We research production systems that are respectful of the environment and have a low environmental impact.
We work with aquaculture as a tool to promote the conservation and reintroduction of endangered species.
Sustainable production models
We study and promote the implementation of new responsible, ethical, efficient, economically viable and environmentally sustainable production models, based on comprehensive health management and low environmental impact.
Health of aquatic organisms
We develop strategies based on therapeutic and prophylactic methods to offer sustainable solutions and alternatives to the use of antimicrobial compounds in aquaculture.
Breeding and reproduction
We use reproductive biotechnology for a new model of reproduction and production.
Nutrition
We improve fish food by taking care of their health, growth and quality of the final product, as well as the sustainability of their ingredients.
Well-being
We advance the study of welfare in aquatic organisms by focusing on humane slaughter and harvesting and strategies to improve their welfare in captivity.
