Seafood is a critical component of the human diet. CHHR partner scientists at HML
are working to assure a healthy, sustainable supply of seafood from natural and
organic sources, with current emphasis on shrimp and oysters. These research efforts use traditional as well as modern
chemical and molecular techniques to monitor and improve reproduction, growth, physiological
status and resistance to disease in species of economic importance. Seafood safety
issues associated with aquacultured versus wild stocks, as well as imported seafood,
are also receiving considerable attention. These research efforts use traditional
as well as modern chemical and molecular techniques to monitor and improve reproduction,
growth, physiological status and resistance to disease in species of economic importance.
