Our Projects

This project represents a collaboration between partners that have been heavily committed to the Canadian aquaculture industry for decades, including an academic institution (UPEI/AVC), a non-for profit organization (BC CAHS), a pharmaceutical company (MERCK), and salmon producers (Grieg, Cermaq and Mowi).

The partners will combine their respective expertise in sea lice genomics and  parasiticide product knowledge to develop and test a diagnostic assay.

A current project that seeks to understand the connection between ocean health, marine animal health, and human health. The research focuses on the health ocean-sourced food (such as salmon and lobster), which is under threat from global climate change.

This research focuses on developing pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide into a treatment for microbial infections in fish and shrimp aquaculture

MICCSA aims to help safeguard Atlantic Canada's economically important salmon aquaculture industry and contribute to its sustainability and continued growth in the face of  climate change. The project uses genomics to help the industry select Atlantic salmon that can survive higher temperatures and hypoxia, and resist disease.

The current project aims to characterize causative genomic differences underlying differences in sea lice susceptibility among seven salmonid species, including by functional annotation of the genomic response to sea lice attack, thereby building a functional genetic understanding of host response and resistance mechanisms.
