LABORATORY

CIDAC

At the Aquaculture Research and Development Center (CIDAC), we offer services in experimentation, microbiology, molecular biology, and physicochemical analysis, focused on the comprehensive evaluation of water, soil, and aquaculture production quality.

We conduct tests and studies that simulate real shrimp and larval farming conditions, considering different densities and seasons of the year, to provide key information that optimizes processes and production outcomes.

With a specialized team and cutting-edge technology, we ensure reliable and timely results, strengthening the competitiveness of the shrimp farming sector.
