Research projects currently in progress in the Aquaculture and Fisheries section of the Centre of Applied Marine Biotechnology all concern shellfish species under culture in Ireland.
Identification
of bivalve larvae
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.
