TROPICALIZATION AND CIGUATERA IN THE CANARY ISLANDS (Biodiversity Foundation, 2017-2018)
The warming of the oceans is causing tropical species to appear in subtropical and temperate latitudes. This is a recent phenomenon on the coasts of southern Europe. Thus, the benthic […]
Cross-Border Marine Biotechnology Laboratory (BLUEBIOLAB; Interreg-POCTEP, 2018-2022)
Bluebiolab aims to create a cross-border marine biotechnology laboratory that promotes excellence in R&I, internationalizes R&D capabilities and optimizes the use of research infrastructure in the territory of Galicia and […]
Predicting the impact of regional scale events on the aquaculture sector (PRIMROSE; Interreg-Área Atlántica, 2018-2021)
Harmful algal blooms have spatial and temporal variability. European aquaculture needs an early warning system to better mitigate these events. The PRIMROSE project funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area program […]
ADAPTIVE STRATEGIES OF HARMFUL MICROALGAE: AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH APPLIED TO THE STUDY OF CIGUATERA IN THE CANARY ISLANDS IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE (CICAN; National R+D+I Plan; 2014-2016)
A new approach in the investigation of harmful algal blooms based on the knowledge of the reproductive cell cycle and its adaptive strategies, applied to the study of benthic dinoflagellates […]
INNOVATIVE DETECTION OF TOXIC ALGALE PROLIFERATIONS: A NECESSITY IN THE FACE OF GLOBAL WARMING (DIANAS; National R&D&I Plan, 2018-2021)
Harmful and toxic algal blooms (HABs) are a growing problem for coastal economies around the world. These phenomena are caused by the massive proliferation of microalgae that produce bioaccumulative toxins […]
GENETIC DIVERSITY AND CHARACTERIZATION OF DINOFLAGELLATE CROPS OF THE GENUS DINOPHYSIS (DIGEDINO; National R++D+I Plan, 2011-2013)
Several species of the genus Dinophysis are responsible for DSP-type toxic episodes at a global level. Our objective is to characterize the diversity of Dinophysis in the NW of the […]
PIGMENTARY DIVERSITY IN DIATOMIES OF THE GALICIAN COAST: ECOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS (2011-2014)
Diatoms contribute significantly to phytoplankton biomass in coastal ecosystems, such as the coastal upwelling system of the Galician estuaries. Our objective is to characterize the pigment composition of isolated diatoms […]
MALASPINA CIRCUMNAVIGATION EXPEDITION 2010: GLOBAL CHANGE AND EXPLORATION OF OCEAN BIODIVERSITY (2009-2014)
Un proyecto multidisciplinar para estudiar la biogeoquímica, oceanografía, biodiversidad y el impacto del cambio climático en los ecosistemas oceánicos.
ENHANCED BIOREFINING METHODS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MARINE BIOTOXINS AND MICROALGAE FISH FEED.
Métodos avanzados de biorefinado para la obtención de biotoxinas marinas y piensos para peces a partir de microalgas.
