The Andalusian
Aquaculture Technology Centre,
Ctaqua, is a private, non-profit foundation.
Ctaqua focuses on fostering competitive
innovation between companies, addressing
the business needs of the aquaculture
sector, as well as the development
of research applied to the different
production processes.
This
year Ctaqua reinforces the services it offers with
the implementation of new facilities in El Puerto
de Santa María, which will allow for the development
of new projects in the test centres, workshops and
laboratories equipped with the latest technology.
The modern two-story
building houses the nutrition, diversification, mollusc,
crustacean, phytoplankton and zooplankton rooms on
the ground floor. The microbiology and pathology labs,
transformation room and the engineering room are also
located on this level. The technical offices, physicochemical,
materials and food technology labs are located on
the upper level.
The premises
will be fully equipped by November 2011 and will allow
Ctaqua to consolidate its work and become a reference
in R+D+I management for the aquaculture sector, as
well as a driving and essential force to generate
added value for companies in the sector.
