80 percent of its members are aquaculture
farmers, feed companies and other industry related enterprises. Universities as
well as regional governmental institutions are also part of CTAQUA.
Their facilities are located in Puerto de
Santa Maria (Cadiz/Spain) and hold a range of wet laboratories, microbiology
and pathology labs, equipment for analytical work and seafood transformation.
The scientific collaboration between
Nutriad and CTAQUA includes contract research in the area of applied nutrition
and fish disease prevention under lab conditions as well as follow up of
specific trials in fish farms.
“We firmly believe that innovation is a
driving force for competition and economic growth of companies, and that is why
our work is focused on results-based research”, stated Juan Manuel Garcia de
Lomas, Director of CTAQUA.
Nutriad is actively collaborating with
CTAQUA since 2008 in a broad range of research projects. These projects aim to
optimize the application of feed additives in Mediterranean aquaculture species
such as Gilthead seabream and European seabass.
“Before entering the market, our feed
additives have proven their efficacy under conditions which are directly
relevant to the producer in terms of feed formulation, feed processing and
species. Through our cooperation with CTAQUA we are able to guarantee continuous relevant research for the
industry,” says Dr Peter Coutteau,
manager of Nutriad’s Business Unit Aquaculture.
Nutriad International delivers products and
