Applying novel biotechnological tools to utilize compounds isolated from the red algae S. coronopifolius as eco-friendly Antifouling Agents – AntiFoul
Biofouling is the undesirable growth of living organisms (bacteria, algae, mollusks etc) on structures submerged in water which causes serious problems for the aquaculture and maritime industries. A number of physical and chemical technologies have been applied in antifouling paints (AF), the most e
Optimization of the CRISPR/Cas9 knock-in technology and application in salmon and trout – AquaCrispr
Recent biotechnological innovations currently allow the development of new approaches to apply genetic engineering to non-model organisms, including economically important salmonid species. This has been mediated by the introduction of the highly efficient CRISPR-Cas9 methodology, which allows mutat
Genome-based approaches for improvement of aquaculture in two marine sturgeon species: Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) and Beluga (Huso huso) – STURGEoNOMICS
This project will use whole genome-based approaches for the improvement of aquaculture in two marine sturgeon species: Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) and Beluga (Huso huso), characterized by large size, fast growth and relatively compact genomes. Our consortium involves research experience
The project aims at developing biotechnological tools to improve our understanding of the genomic basis for growth and robustness in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), one of the most intensively farmed teleost species in the Mediterranean. Particular concern will be granted to increase speci
