To develop the project a new research line will be applied focused on the identification of plant extract and essential oils that show enough activity on certain pathogens, responsible of wreak havoc in aquaculture.
Target species are sea bream, trout, salmon, tilapia and shrimp.
Renowned Spanish research centres such as Research & Technology Food &Agriculture (IRTA), University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), Health Surveillance Centre of the University Complutense (VISAVET) and Eco Aqua Institute of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC). At international level, Foundation Chile and University of Arizona will also collaborate at LIPTOAVAN project.

We already have a few phytobiptic combinations which are successful in treating gut infections and preventing viral infections in shrimp. Is there a way to collaborate with liptoda. I would like to connect with somebody in liptpsa regarding the same.
