Antibiotic resistance in Aquaculture: addressing challenges and promoting sustainable practices
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance (AR) poses a significant threat to global public health, and its spread in aquaculture systems demands urgent attention. This scientific session aims to delve into the multifaceted dimensions of AR in aquaculture, bringing together experts and researchers from the ARENA (https://www.jpi-arena.eu/it/) and other JPI Aquatic Pollutants funded projects (SPARE-SEA, PHARMASEA and NanoTheCAba) to explore challenges and foster sustainable solutions.
