Improving gill health in salmon    Benchmark Genetics has embarked on a three-year £1.2M research project in collaboration with experts at University of Stirling Institute of Aquaculture and University of Aberdeen Scottish Fish Immunology Research Centre.    The project, targeted at improving gill health issues in farmed salmon, is a key part of Benchmark’s strategic R&D initiative and aims to improve:   📈Performance  🐟Health  🏆Robustness against disease    Experts will research the influence of the microbiome on gill health, and the intersection with genetic resistance to complex gill disease.     Lead for Trait Development Andrew C Preston says “we have worked together with the University of Stirling for several years to run trials for complex gill disease resistance in our nucleus families. This project builds on our strategic partnership with the University and other centres of excellence". "We have demonstrated heritability of the trait, and this is now being combined with data on the same families from Scottish net pen farm environments".   "We will advance our understanding of the genetic basis of optimal gill health traits leading to a new gill health product focussed on improving salmon welfare at sea".    "Our aim is to develop tailored salmon genetic products with high robustness and survival in Scottish waters”. #DrivingSustainabilityInAquaculture Benchmark Genetics Chile Benchmark Genetics Iceland Benchmark Genetics Norway AS

Check out the video below where Eddy Naessens and Erik Van Ballaer take us on a journey through time, explaining the urgency and necessity of Artemia in aquaculture and how we’ve developed a truly customer-centric approach to product development. #DrivingSustainabilityInAquaculture INVE Aquaculture

Proud of our People team who took part in a corporate beach clean and survey event in Brighton (UK) organised by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS). As part of a larger group, we collected over 1000 pieces of litter. The most common discarded items were: 🥤Plastic: packets (sweets, crisps), cigarette stubs, plastic bags 🍭Wood: lolly sticks 🍶Metal: bottle lids, foil wrappers 🚽Sanitary: wet wipes MCS Clean Lead commented: "Not only did you remove litter that harms our marine life and pollutes our ocean, you've provided vital data to fuel our litter campaigns and help affect real change." Small positive actions all contribute to the sustainable future of our planet. This is why all our employees are entitled to use two working days for volunteering activities. This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to protect and preserve our natural environment. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported!
