Biotecnología marina y acuicultura

Abstract

RESUMEN: Debido a la situación de los caladeros y al encarecimiento del proceso extractivo, el consumo de pescado y marisco se apoya cada vez más en la acuicultura. España es el tercer país consumidor de pescado del mundo, por detrás tan solo de Japón y Noruega. La biotecnología puede acelerar la consecución de estos objetivos. Sin embargo, no todo es producción de alimento; gracias a la biotecnología asociada al mundo acuático podemos generar combustible, energía, medicamentos y muchas otras aplicaciones que nos permiten valorar cada vez con más la riqueza del mar y su biodiversidad.PALABRAS CLAVE: Biotecnología; acuicultura; pesca; medicina; farmacología; biodiesel; antitumorales; biopolímeros.ABSTRACT: As a result of overfishing and the escalating cost of fishing, fisheries are unable to provide all the marine products that the world market demands. This shortfall is being met by aquaculture. After Japan and Norway, Spain is one of the world's leading consumers of fish and seafood. To reduce the losses from disease, increase growth and reproduction rates and juveniles survival... Biotechnology can help achieve these goals. However, there is more than food production in the use of Biotechnology in the marine world. Generation of biodiesel, medicines or new materials have their roots on the application of biotechnology to the marine world.

SEASONAL DYNAMICS OF PARASITES ON MEDITERRANEAN MUSSELS (Mytilus galloprovincialis) AND ECOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF THE INFECTIONS IN SOUTHERN ALBORAN AREA, MOROCCO

“…Fundamental understanding upon the local population of this mussel is still under investigation, and scientific explanations on the mortality and variability of the recruitment success is necessary. The infection of parasites is the one of the dominant causes of the mass mortality of the natural and cultured stock of the shellfish [9][10][11][12]. For dense aggregation of mussels with byssal threads, including M. galloprovincials, outbreak of parasites may be mortal risk for whole community.…”
