Microbial Additives in Aquaculture: Effects on the Lipid Metabolism of Gilthead Seabream

Microbial Additives in Aquaculture: Effects on the Lipid Metabolism of Gilthead Seabream

Microbial Additives in Aquaculture: Effects on the Lipid Metabolism of Gilthead Seabream

Microbial additives belong to the sustainable feed ingredients category and they have been shown to enhance fish health. Moreover, several studies have investigated the correlation between the impact of microbial additives and lipid metabolism. 

During this Student Research Hub research project, we will explore the effects of 2 microbial additives on the lipid metabolism of the gilthead seabream, which is one of the most commercial fish species of the Mediterranean aquaculture

This semester, Iván Toro Pineda, a student in the EU-CONEXUS Joint Master Programme in Marine Biotechnology at @univlarochelle , took part in the 10th Hong Kong Techathon+, one of Asia’s leading international innovation and tech entrepreneurship events.

As a member of an international team, Iván presented Envirovex, a biotechnology project addressing antibiotic residues in wastewater to help fight antimicrobial resistance.

Klaipeda University (KU) has been granted a European patent for an innovative vertical shrimp farming technology – the Shrimp Tower, developed by KU researchers and commercialised through the spin-off AquaQLT.

This space-efficient, energy-smart solution is designed for sustainable shrimp farming under European conditions and is now moving towards market launch.

15-minute cities cut the commute time – but do the 15-minute cities cut the commute time – but do they help social equality? 🌆

A recent study by researchers at the @utcbro suggests that they don’t. ✋

For a proactive approach, Oana Luca and Emanuel Răuță examined a neighbourhood in the city of Ploiești, Romania, to see how a 15-minute city functions in practice. 

The conclusion? 🧐

Equity must be part of the conversation from the start.

Learn more about the 15-minute city concept and the issues behind it on the “news” section of our website #euconexus #europeanuniversities #smucsweeklybite #sustainability #15minutecity

Open Lab Hours (OLH) are short 5-day training sessions on research topics provided by an intra-alliance team of mentors. They are designed for undergraduate and post-graduate master students of EU-CONEXUS universities with a keen interest in exploring research avenues related to Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability.

During OLH, students gain essential competencies from various alliance partners. Each OLH will take place in a hybrid format, combining simultaneously:

🔹 𝗢𝗻-𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 provided by the home University, focusing on advanced instrumentation and advanced instrumentation and specimen/data collection;

🔹 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 featuring literature search, specialized software implementation, research methods, ethics, scientific writing, and preparation for international competitions.
