We do research with new and established aquatic species to improve their quality, domestication, feeding, productivity and sustainability at a commercial level, as well as for innovation and development of new biotechnological methods.
We conduct strategic research with technology applied to the breeding, reproduction and culture of fish, mollusks, crustaceans, plants and algae living in salt, brackish or fresh water. We look after the care and health of the farmed animals in order to protect the health of consumers and the environment.
We investigate production systems that are environmentally friendly and have a low environmental impact.
We work with aquaculture as a tool to favor 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 an humanitarian sacrifice and on strategies to improve their welfare in culture.
