Fish Physiology and Sustainable Aquaculture

The research group on Fish Physiology and Sustainable Aquaculture is working in this activity since mid-seventies. Its research activity focuses on the study of basic and applied physiological aspects of fish culture, from reproduction process and throughout larval development up to the juvenil stage of both consolidated fish species and new species with high potential for aquaculture. This research is being done with a multidisciplinary perspective using biochemical, histological, bioenergetics, cellular and molecular techniques, and including genomic approaches. The work of the group is funded by competitive National and International projects (National Research Plan, EU Framework Programme, etc), together with agreements and contracts with aquaculture companies contributing to the technological and industrial innovation of the productive sector. The group has a large collaboration network along Spain and Europe, and also in America.
