Detecting Euglenophyta (Tảo mắt) Algae for Improved Aquaculture Management

KYTOS is thrilled to share its latest achievement: a highly accurate algorithm for detecting Euglenophyta algae in shrimp ponds! 🔬 🦠 But why should farmers care about Euglenophyta algae? Here’s why: 1. Water Quality: Rapid blooms of certain Euglenophyta species can deplete oxygen levels in water, leading to hypoxia or anoxia. This can stress or…

KYTOS and RASLab enter into commercial collaboration

The microbial health of the rearing water and biofilter of Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is crucial for maintaining optimal water quality for land-based fish farms. Ammonia, a toxic component for fish, is metabolized by specialized organisms called Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria and Archaea (AOB/AOA), while organic substrates are degraded by heterotrophic bacteria. The production of toxic…

Effective microbial management key to farming efficiency

A great collaboration with INVE aquaculture, Benchmark’s Advanced Nutrition group, and Jasmine Heyse (PhD candidate at CMET) resulted in novel insights into the way microbial communities assemble, and are influenced by artemia-, algae-, and dry feed-associated microbiomes, in shrimp hatchery systems. In this study, we found that the microbial community assembly in the hatchery rearing…
