We operate a large variety of tanks for breeding, larval rearing, nursery and grow-out, and feeding and behaviour studies

With -omics approaches we elucidate the genetic basis of phenotypic variability in Mediterranean aquaculture

We study reproductive function and its control in captivity, a prerequisite for the sustainable development of commercial aquaculture

Feeding comprises 60% of total aquaculture production costs, and we work to develop high-performing and environmentally safe feeds with sustainable ingredients

As marine habitats change and adapt due to global and local pressures, we monitor and assess ecological states, taking into account current environmental challenges

We study the evolution of natural populations to address their response to climate change and invasion processes, and enable conservation and stock management

Our research into the biology of new finfish species, such as meagre, greater amberjack and Atlantic bluefin tuna, supports the diversification of aquaculture

Pilot scale netpet facilities are used for small-scale commercial grow-out, to develop new tools & methods for Mediterranean fishes

We employ a wide variety of informatics techniques to deal with the current unprecedented accumulation rate of biological data
