Appropriate husbandry methods during larval rearing and on-growing are of particular importance for the aquaculture industry. At the Aquaculture Technology Laboratory we study the feeding and environmental specific requirements of Mediterranean fish species. Since 2000 we have been interested in the specific diversification of the production. In particular, for the greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) and the meagre (Argyrosomus regius) successful methods for larval rearing and grow out are developed.


One of the research interests of the group is to understand climate change implications for the Mediterranean aquaculture and the definition of species-specific thermal preferences.
