ParaFishControl

Disease prevention and management are essential for the sustainability of the European aquaculture industry. The diversity of species and farming practices throughout Europe involves several threats related to a large variety of pathogens that hamper production and require specific preventive and curative practices and tools ensuring a high level of biosecurity of aquaculture production and related seafood products.  
Over the last five years, the EU-funded project ParaFishControl (634429) has been working to develop
innovative solutions and tools for the prevention, control and mitigation of the most harmful parasitic
species affecting the main European farmed fish species, namely: Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, turbot,
gilthead seabream, European sea bass and common carp. This channel presents the the new tools and techniques developed within the project to diagnose, prevent and treat parasitic diseases in farmed fish.
