CCMAR research in the spotlight of medAID

A research team from CCMAR is carrying out two important workpackages, that are considered very important for the european aquaculture project: medAID.

In this event, the role of algae producing companies, new microalgae production strategies developed by LNEG, the concept of biorefinery of algal biomass and two round tables was presented.

Would you like to contribute with your research in a special issue of the journal "Animals" in the area of aquaculture? See how in our news!

The inclusion of plant ingredients (such as soy) in fish diets is increasing. However, these diets are limited in the amino acid methionine and require supplementation to fulfil fish nutritional needs.
