Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production method in the world. Disease is the #1 issue affecting the industry in terms of monetary losses. The use of antibiotics and medicated feeds in aquaculture is banned or heavily restricted.

We bioprospect for novel microbes that have bio-activity against high value aquaculture pathogens, and turn them into direct-fed-microbials and high value feed additives to help mitigate disease in the aquaculture industry.
