Smart innovation strategies for controlled environment breeding of Haliotis tuberculata

The gastropod mollusc Haliotis tuberculata, an endemic species of the Mediterranean Sea, today represents an innovative species of great interest for the aquaculture sector. The abalone is considered an important marine resource that, could quickly become depleted if not properly managed. In the aquaculture sector this mollusc is a valuable and highly regarded resource, being a product with high economic value and a source of functional biomolecules highly demanded in international markets. In the Mednight event, scientific studies and breeding techniques related to this species will be disseminated through an innovative approach aimed to present this mollusc in an engaging way with videos and interactive experiments.
