Sustainable aquaculture and blue biotechnology, with a special focus on the study of high economic value marine species. It addresses key aspects such as their biology, physiology, and improvement in cultivation techniques. Through the use of advanced molecular biology, genetics, and genomics techniques, it delves into the understanding of genetic variability, adaptation, and optimization of marine species in different environments. Furthermore, the potential of marine bioproducts with applications in sectors such as biotechnology and the food industry is investigated.

It includes the following lines of research:

• Functional, cellular and molecular biology
• Genetics and genomics of marine organisms
• Aquaculture and fisheries resources
• Microalgae biotechnology
• Seafood processing technologies
