B2E Technological Sonar Initiative #10
B2E presents the tenth edition of our Technological Sonar initiative, a monthly selection of national and international initiatives to retain, within the scope of new patents and technologies in the blue bioeconomy sector.
Aquaculture
- Microsoft Artificial Intelligence to increase the productivity of the shrimp farms in Pescanova
Nueva Pescanova, the Spanish company specialized in products from the sea, has developed with Microsoft the first shrimp aquaculture farm equipped with artificial intelligence to improve productivity, quality, sustainability and the welfare of crustaceans and workers.

- Probiotic bacteria for fish
A method for increasing the weight and growth rate of fish, preferably salmonidae, and for preventing and/or treating microbial infections, comprising the steps of a) adding one or more species of probiotic bacteria to the water, wherein the species of bacteria comprises or consists of aliivibrio njordis, aliivibrio balderis and/or aliivibrio nannie; and b) exposing the fish to water that contains one or more species of probiotic bacteria.

- System and method for removal and processing of aquaculture mortalities
Removing deceased fish, known as mortalities, from an aquaculture cage is of paramount importance. Mortalities occur during almost any aquaculture growing cycle and, when left in the cage, can start to decay, playing host to parasites and disease. Failure to remove mortalities can lead to contamination of the cohort, and one dead fish can become many dead fish, reducing the profitability of the farm. In general, the apparatus, methods, and systems described herein relate to the automatic removal of dead fish or other mortalities from an aquaculture cage.

Marine Biotechnology
- Spirulina is used to manufacture a therapeutic antibody against campylobacter
The use of the edible photosynthetic cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis (spirulina) as a biomanufacturing platform has been limited by a lack of genetic tools. Here are reported genetic engineering methods for stable, high-level expression of bioactive proteins in spirulina, including large-scale, indoor cultivation and downstream processing methods.

- Trichodermin inhibits the growth of oral cancer through apoptosis-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and HDAC-2-mediated signaling
Trichodermin (TCD), a trichothecene first isolated from marine Trichoderma viride, is an inhibitor of eukaryotic protein synthesis. Overall, this evidence demonstrates that TCD is a novel promising strategy for the treatment of human oral squamous cell carcinoma.
