🦪 Can shellfish be bred to better withstand climate change and Perkinsus infection?
Results from IGNITION and #ShellFishBoost show it is possible, paving the way for more resilient aquaculture

2 new papers from IGNITION explore Salmon skin biology and its role as the interface between fish and their environment
They provide new insights into cellular responses to external challenges and mechanisms of cell-to-cell communication, helping advance fish health research
📖 Characterization of extracellular vesicles from primary skin epithelial cells and cell lines from Atlantic salmon

📖 Uptake of different-sized microplastic particles in skin and corneal epithelial cells from Atlantic salmon
doi.org/10.1186/s12302-026-0…
We're pleased to share two new publications arising from the PhD research of Stanislav Rudnyckyj (Aalborg University), exploring different pathways for the valorization of halophyte biomass within sustainable biotechnological systems.

🌍 One busy week, three opportunities to share our work!
🐟 Mucosal Health in Aquaculture
⚡ 77th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry
🌱 Agri-Health Sensing Symposium 2026
Excited to share our work on fish health, welfare & sustainable sensing!
How can #AI improve animal welfare in aquaculture?
#MachineVision is giving researchers and farmers real-time insights into fish and shrimp health, behaviour, and welfare, helping detect stress early and support more #SustainableAquaculture.

🐟 Oxidative stress can affect fish health and welfare.
Electrochemical sensors for hydrogen peroxide detection offer a promising minimally invasive approach to continuous monitoring in aquaculture.
Explore this and other resources on our website: ignition-project.eu
ALT Infographic illustrating an electrochemical sensor that detects hydrogen peroxide, an indicator of oxidative stress in fish, enabling continuous monitoring to support fish welfare in aquaculture.
🕵️ Can you solve the mystery?
Play AQLUA, a Cluedo-style game set in an aquaculture station. Gather clues, investigate a mysterious illness, and explore animal welfare science. 🇬🇧🇵🇹🇪🇸🇮🇹

How can we monitor animal welfare without causing additional stress to animals?
We explore the potential of innovative non-invasive biomarkers to support animal welfare monitoring in more sustainable animal farming systems.
ALT Infographic showing how non-invasive biomarkers, operational welfare indicators, and machine learning are combined to improve fish welfare monitoring and support early disease detection in sustainable aquaculture.
Can fish skin mucus help transform aquaculture health monitoring?
We're exploring exactly that, developing novel non-invasive biomarkers and biosensor technologies to detect stress and disease in farmed fish without the need for invasive sampling.
Don't miss it tomorrow!
