- Capabilities | Prediction and characterization of harmful algal blooms
Characterization and modeling of algal blooms and their interaction with oceanographic and environmental conditions to model and predict proliferation episodes.
- Capabilities | Development of “in vitro” bioactivity tests for biomolecules using cell lines and specific gene expression tests
Development of techniques (metabolomics, proteomics, genomics, lipidomics, biomarkers) to characterize the response of cells to different biomolecules and to validate their activity and safety.
- Capabilities | New technologies for rapid detection of pathogens in fishery and aquaculture products
Development of mass spectroscopy techniques for rapid identification and quantification of parasites in seafood products, as well as proteomic techniques to identify pathogenic microorganisms, fish parasites and allergen proteins.
- Software | Kinetics of E. coli inactivation by benzalkonium chloride v1.0
This model and associated code was developed to optimize disinfection protocols and minimize bacterial resistance. This model was applied in the following journal article: Optimization of E. coli Inactivation by Benzalkonium Chloride Reveals the Importance of Quantifying the Inoculum Effect on Chemical Disinfection. Front. Microbiol., 26 June 2018. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2018.01259

- Prototype | iObserver: On-board electronic monitoring system for catch identification and quantification
iObserver is an innovative monitoring device based on automated video monitoring coupled with artificial intelligence developments for visual recognition and quantification of the catches on board fishing vessels.
iObserver implements a continuous image recording system adaptable to different fishing vessels and deep learning algorithms to automatically identify and quantify catches on board in real time.
iObserver focuses mainly on developing algorithms for robust automatic species recognition and size estimation of fish transported on a conveyor belt. Trials have been performed on board Spanish oceanographic vessels and commercial vessels. With over 300 days at sea, iObserver was used in more than 1000 hauls and took more than 200,000 pictures, and 17 species have already been included in the system's catalogue.
