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!

Human, animal, and environmental health are deeply connected. 🧍🐾🌱
🌍 The One Health approach helps us understand and act on these links.
The IGNITION Project builds on this perspective to support healthier ecosystems and communities.
