Genetic Modification for Disease Resistance
Genetically modified fish exhibit enhanced resistance to common diseases, reducing mortality and the need for antibiotics.
Selective Breeding Programs
Selective breeding improves growth rates, feed efficiency, and specific traits tailored for aquaculture productivity.
Biosecurity Protocols using Biotechnology
Advanced monitoring and diagnostic biotechnologies are employed to prevent disease spread and secure the health of aquaculture stocks.
Bioremediation of Aquatic Environments
Use of microorganisms or plants to detoxify and restore contaminated aquaculture environments, ensuring ecosystem health and sustainability.
Probiotics in Fish Nutrition
Supplementation of aquaculture feed with probiotics to enhance fish gut health, improve nutrient absorption, and boost immune responses.
Vaccine Development for Aquatic Organisms
Developing vaccines to prevent common fish diseases, thus reducing the need for antibiotics and supporting sustainable aquaculture.
Transgenic Algae for Nutrient Supply
Engineering algae to produce enhanced nutritional content as a feed, thereby improving fish growth and health.
Water Quality Monitoring Technologies
Biotech sensors and monitoring systems provide real-time data on water quality, ensuring optimal conditions for aquaculture.
DNA Barcoding for Species Identification
Genetic tools identify species and stocks, aid in tracking the movement of aquaculture species, and ensure regulatory compliance.
CRISPR Gene Editing
Using CRISPR technology to edit genes in fish for desired traits such as increased growth rate, disease resistance, and stress tolerance.
Aquatic Animal Health Management
Implementation of biotechnology in regular health checks, vaccinations, and treatment strategies to prevent disease outbreaks.
Synthetic Biology for Phytoremediation
Creating synthetic organisms designed to remove or neutralize toxins like heavy metals and nitrogenous waste in aquaculture systems.
Nanotechnology in Fish Feed
Using nanotech to create feed with enhanced bioavailability and nutrient delivery to improve the efficiency of food conversion and growth rates in fish.
Omics Technologies
Applying genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to understand and improve aspects of aquaculture such as growth rates, feed conversion, and environmental stressors.
Smart Aquaculture
Incorporating IoT devices and AI for automation, monitoring, and optimization of aquaculture processes.
