Ticks contain many different disease-causing bacteria and viruses, including the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Multiple infections with these other pathogens in addition to Borrelia cause more severe illness. For many of these pathogens there are no or limited diagnostic tools available to detect the pathogen. This project includes production of a new product, “a […]

Fish grown in RAS require special water quality conditions to remain healthy and grow. New water is meant to be added to the system only to account for evaporation, splash out, cleaning and flush out of waste materials. However, the amount of makeup water used at the Oak Bay hatchery is excessive when biomass is […]
