Mini-Workshop Projeto AquaSafe - 25 de Novembro de 2015 Universidade de Aveiro

O projeto AquaSafe foi criado por investigadores do Departamento de Biologia e o Centro de Estudos do Ambiente e do Mar (CESAM) da Universidade de Aveiro (financiado pelo Programa Operacional da Pesca e co-financiado pelo Fundo Europeu das Pescas). Trata-se de uma iniciativa pioneira que pretende promover a transferência de conhecimento da microbiologia (ecologia e biotecnologia) dos sistemas de aquacultura e a sua importância na qualidade e quantidade de produção animal.

Biological control of Aeromonas salmonicida infection in juvenile Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) with Phage AS-A

One of the major sources of financial loss for the fish farming industry is the occurrence of infections by pathogenic bacteria, especially multidrug-resistant variants. This problem is most prominent during the early stages of fish development and is difficult to address with traditional antibiotic treatment or vaccination. In this way, alternative environmentally-friendly biological strategies to control bacterial infections need to be implemented.

Development of a molecular methodology for fast detection of Photobacterium damselae subspecies in water samples

In this study we we provide evidences that the molecular methodology developed in this study can be used for overall quantification of P. damselae and subsequent detection of its subspecies in natural ecosystems and aquaculture systems.

CHALLENGE: Health Management

At the GOAL 2013 meeting in Paris, disease was once again identified as the primary challenge obstructing the growth of aquaculture. George Chamberlain moderated a panel on health management that reviewed the three disease case studies con- ducted by the Responsible Aquaculture Foundation and World Bank (RAF/WB).
