Successful participation of Nutrigroup at Vienna Aquaculture Europe 20232023-10-02
Aquaculture Europe was held from 18 to 21 September at Vienna, and Nutrigroup labor has been quite appreciated. Ricardo Domingo finally won the Student Spotlight Award of the Congress after a wonderful presentation. Álvaro Belenguer contributed with one of the principal presentations in the Genomic/Post-Genomics/Epigenetics session. The Microbiome session was hosted and co-chaired by Nutrigroup leader Jaume Pérez-Sánchez and Genciana Terova from Insubria University. Postdoc Federico Moroni presented in this session the SAMBA (Structure-Learning of Aquaculture Microbiomes Using a Bayesian Approach) tool to model the network structure of fish gut microbiomes and their interactions with biotic and abiotic variables associated with aquaculture systems. PhD Fernando Naya-Català presented in the Selective Breeding session the recent results from AquaIMPACT project about the importance of fish genetic background in the gut microbiome and transcriptome response to feed additives.
In the Welfare session, ITN student from IATS Nutrigenomic and Pathology groups Socorro Toxqui-Rodríguezcontributed with a talk about the role of skin microbiota to shape reactive and reactive behavior in gilthead sea bream under high stocking densities.
