Pioneers in quantitative mucosal health
Mucus: The living, interactive barrier between fish and the environment
In water there is no life without slime barriers. The barrier is wafer-thin, but crucial to survival and to growth.
Quantidoc has developed a technology called Veribarr (TM). Through this we have specialised in quantifying the robustness of slime barriers.

Practical applications
Based on input from Quantidoc AS, we have chosen to alter the diet and to survey the intestinal health over a longer periode of time, based on their methodology and know-how. |
The integration of the still-evolving technologies of next-generation-sequencing and gene-editing with tools such as gnotobiotic fishlines and techniques such as micosal mapping and laser-capture microdissection should lead to a dramatic expansion of our knowledge of the mucosal barriers of aquaculture organisms in the near future (Fra boken "Mucosal Health in Aquaculture", 2015 - Elsevier, Beck & Peatman editors)
