Persistent biofilms problematic in aquaculture, food processing
Resistant to antibacterial agents and heat, biofilms are difficult to remove from food-processing surfaces and may result in persistent pathogen populations.
Health & Welfare
Both bacterial pathogens and chemical residues can affect the quality of farmed tilapia products. In production systems, Vibrio bacteria quickly proliferate following disease outbreaks.

Methods and quality control ranges for bacteria testing, defined in studies by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, will ensure data precision and inter-laboratory harmonization.
Health & Welfare
Recirculating aquaculture presents an increased potential for pathogenic bacteria to become established in the system through the formation of biofilms.
Health & Welfare
Bacteria play a role in the dynamics of nutrients in aquaculture production systems. This article explores the role of bacteria on nitrogen.
