Maintaining the culture medium in the best possible condition is one of the most important aspects in aquaculture systems. Thus, the development of preventive measures that companies in the sector can apply may positively contribute to a systematic improvement in productivity, affecting not only the quantity and quality of the product, but also the company's economic efficiency.

Due to the impact of parasites in recent years, companies have mobilised themselves in search of solutions adapted to their needs, including advances in early detection, samplings and the development of hygiene and cleaning protocols.

As a result, apart from compiling the decalogue for good practices to minimise the incidence and effects of the most common parasites related to land-based aquaculture systems, it is necessary to continue working on influencing the different parameters that affect the proliferation of parasitic diseases. This is why ASEMA presented a new proposal including participation from Ctaqua as scientific-technical advisor with support from the ICMAN-CSIC.
