When prevention is the best medicine
They say prevention is the best medicine, and fish are no exception. To help Europe’s aquaculture sector better prevent disease amongst fish and shellfish, the IGNITION project is developing new techniques in genotyping and molecular phenotyping that could pave the way to fish and shellfish breeds that are more robust against stress and disease. The project is also working to develop vaccines for preventing diseases, as well as machine learning solutions for predicting and diagnosing disease.
