Video. Environmental DNA: The revolution in marine monitoring
Environmental DNA is the DNA collected from the environment, that is, from environmental samples, such as for example seawater. Seawater samples contain small organisms such as bacteria and phytoplankton, but also traces of larger organisms, in form of cells, tissues, or scales released by fish. By filtering several litres of seawater, these traces can be […]
Four AZTI women researchers are among the top 5,000 in Spain
Four AZTI women researchers are among the top 5,000 women working in Spanish institutions. This is according to the study carried out by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in its first ranking of the 5,000 Spanish and foreign women scientists doing research in Spanish organisations. This ranking has been carried out according to the […]
AZTI has developed a genetic method to identify the origin of bluefin tuna specimens, to improve the management and promoting the conservation of the species
The technology centre has coordinated this research that enables the development of a pioneering tool to discover the origin of the specimens of this species for an improved management and sustainability. The results of the study, led by AZTI researchers, Naiara Rodríguez Ezpeleta and Haritz Arrizabalaga, have been published in the prestigious scientific journal, Frontiers […]
High impact scientific publications. Scientific articles published by AZTI in 2023
Scientific excellence, backed by the practical application of our research results, is the basis that positions our team as an international benchmark. This recognition translates into our outstanding participation as leading speakers in international forums and a consolidated presence in the main scientific committees linked to our research fields. It is also worth highlighting the […]
Genetics as a new technology for stock management
Naiara Rodríguez-Ezpeleta, researcher and marine genetics expert The last two decades have seen an unprecedented genetic revolution that has radically changed our ability to better quantify genetic diversity, understand connectivity between populations, identify environmental adaptations and define species-environment interactions. In addition, the continued development and democratisation of new DNA sequencing technologies has provided us with […]
Distribution and diversity of deep-sea plankton: key information based on marine genetics for understanding the functioning of the marine ecosystem
ORIOL CANALS, marine genetics expert at AZTI. Zooplankton is a live component of the diet of most commercial fish species. These tiny animals live from the shallowest layers of the ocean to depths of thousands of metres, where they play a key role in sequestering atmospheric carbon and thus regulating global climate. In the context […]
Groundbreaking European environmental DNA research reveals past and present secrets of our coasts
Researchers from the AZTI and IFREMER technology centres are today sampling the Bilbao estuary to collect sediments that are a record of the geological and biological evolution of the area over the last two centuries. Analysis of the DNA extracted from the paleosediments will provide information about the past state of the ecosystem and how […]
The future of the oceans through science: ICES ASC in Bilbao
The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea Annual Scientific Conference (ICES ASC) took place in Bilbao from 11 to 14 September, hosted by AZTI. This event gathers marine scientists, managers and other stakeholders in marine scientific disciplines from around the world to meet, present and discuss the latest scientific advances in favour of […]
DNA from a bucket of water key to improved marine environmental management
The AZTI technological centre has studied the potential of environmental DNA sequencing to monitor marine resources more economically and accurately than with commonly used methodologies. Research has focused on the analysis of ocean water samples and has found that environmental DNA sequencing can, more accurately than traditional methodologies, determine the abundance, diversity and spatial distribution […]
Black and white anglerfish hybridise producing viable descendants
A study by the AZTI technology centre shows for the first time that the two species of anglerfish hybridise and can reproduce viably. The research also questions the reliability of the species assignment approach used until now. The results, obtained in the framework of the Joint Research Centre funded GECKA project, have been published in […]
WEBINAR – Modernizing fisheries management using innovative genetic tools: the GECKA project as a case study
Fri, Jun 26, 2020 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM CEST According to the Common Fisheries Policy, fisheries management must be based on the best available scientific advice. This is achieved through the collection of harmonised, reliable and accurate biological and fishery-dependent and -independent data. Yet, often the accuracy of the data collected is compromised by technological […]
