The Galician Regional Ministry of the Sea, through the Directorate General of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Technological Innovation, has approved the granting of aid for the implementation of a research and development project called XESMORINM (Improving the survival of bivalve seed at sea. Management for mortality control and immunoprotection), which will be carried out by Proameixa in collaboration with the Department of Microbiology of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and which aims to help the sustainable production of bivalve seed at sea, through the practical application of microbiological knowledge for management.
This project, which began last September, is being carried out within the framework of the Xunta de Galicia’s call for aid to promote innovation, technological improvement and competitiveness in the aquaculture sector, co-financed by the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (FEMPA), and is scheduled to conclude in September 2025.
