Aquaculture Microbiome Solutions

Aquaculture is a significant sector with substantial economic value, and microorganisms play a crucial role in the growth and development of farmed fish. A stable microbiome directly affects genetic traits, disease defense, and immunity. Research on the aquaculture microbiome is of great significance for the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry. It plays a crucial role in increasing the economic value of farmed fish and advancing towards environmentally friendly practices. BioVenic offers solutions related to the microbial community structure of fish, shrimp, and shellfish, microbial-host interactions, microbiome research methods, and regulatory strategies for aquaculture. Our expert technical team develops customized experimental plans based on sample type and project goals to ensure comprehensive microbiome analysis. Through multiple omics analyses, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the roles played by major phyla in fish microbiota, and subsequently identify key targets that regulate these microbiotas.

Aquaculture Microbiome Services

• Microbiome Genome Analysis

BioVenic already has a complete microbiome gene sequencing and analysis service platform, offering various solutions for conducting in-depth genetic analysis of the aquaculture microbiome. Through metagenomic detection or the detection and analysis of specific functional genes, we will integrate and analyze valuable biological information that aligns with the project's scientific research objectives. Our project protocols implement strict quality control from sample processing to microbiome data analysis to ensure that the results delivered are accurate and reliable.

• Gut Microbiome Research

BioVenic's gut microbiome solution integrates a one-stop analysis strategy for the aquaculture gut microbiome. The microbiome in the intestinal system not only aids digestion but also impacts the nutrition, growth, reproduction, immune system, and disease susceptibility of the host fish. We provide our clients with valuable information on the aquaculture gut microbiota, including genetic composition, interactions among microbiota, and interactions between microbiota and the host.

• Microbial Feed Additive Customization

BioVenic leverages the extensive experience in animal microbiome research and advanced sequencing technology platforms to offer customers design and development services for various aquaculture microbial feed additives. Microbial additives, such as probiotics, stabilize the intestinal microbiota and enhance the growth, development, and immunity of fish and shellfish in a simple and controllable way, thereby increasing their economic value. Our technical team designs and develops microbial additive formulas suitable for a variety of aquaculture products. We also support customers in customizing solutions based on the different growth stages of organisms.
