Folium Science has developed a new partnership with renowned experts in aquaculture health, plus leading scientists at Harper Adams University (HAU) to extend the application of its Guided Biotics® technology to the aquaculture industry.
Professor Simon Davies, international expert in fish nutrition and editor-in-chief at International Aquafeed will be working in a collaborative partnership with Folium Science to develop products that help to solve the issues caused by bacterial diseases in fish. He will also join Folium Science's bench of industrial experts; a group of experienced individuals from across the agri-tech industry who advise and support the development of Folium Science's technology.
Supporting Professor Davies from HAU will be Dr Tharangani Heath, Senior lecturer in Aquaculture Health and Senior Research Scientist Dr Nilantha Jayasuriya. The team will also be collaborating with Dr Alex Wan of the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) at the prestigious Ryan Institute's Carna Research Station for feeding trials with salmon.
The new Aqua Consortium will be targeting bacterial pathogens that can cause mortality rates of up to 30 percent in farmed salmon and trout (Source: MSS). Initial focus will be on Aeromonas salmonicida with future work to develop multivalent products for multiple fish pathogens.
