Research projects presently active in the Aquaculture
and Fisheries division of the Centre for Applied Marine Biotechnology
have been sub-divided into three groups, though at present all concern
shellfish species under culture in Ireland: |
|
In support of the aquaculture industry, the fastest
growing food production sector in Europe, CAMBio is involved in
a suite of projects to develop a rapid bivalve larval identification
technique. |
| |
|
A technique for the identification of bivalve larvae
of commercial species will allow larval tracking with a view to
predicting when, where and at what intensity bivalve larvae settle
to become shellfish seed or spat. |

|
Biotoxins in shellfish represent a global problem.
CAMBio are involved in several projects on the toxin, domoic acid,
the causative agent of ASP. |
