The aquatic microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and productivity of aquaculture by preventing pathogen colonization and stimulating appropriate immune responses.CoEM aims to enhance aquaculture production through the development of microbial inoculums/probiotics, promoting the health and productivity of fish and other aquatic animals. Our goals include producing nutritionally enriched, safe fish for improved human health, conducting microbiome research for AMR mitigation through a cleaner environment. We also strive to understand cryptic pathogen diversity and resistome in aquaculture systems to predict and mitigate outbreak risks.
