Biosamples from recirculating aquaculture systems of Swedish fish farms Raw sequence reads
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) offer sustainable solutions for fish production by efficiently reusing water and minimizing environmental impact. However, one challenge in RAS is the occasional occurrence of off-flavours in fish, which can affect their marketability and consumer acceptance. These off-flavours are often attributed to microbial activity within the system. This project aims to delve into the microbial communities present in RAS and their role in off-flavour production. The project focuses on examining the diverse microbial communities within RAS, identifying the specific microorganisms responsible for off-flavour production in RAS, and to investigate the environmental conditions influencing off-flavour production in RAS.
