Overview

The Laboratory of Fishery Product Quality and Safety is a dedicated unit supporting research and community service in food safety, freshness, and quality of aquatic products. As global nutritional product trade continues to grow, this laboratory addresses crucial issues such as contamination, compliance with trade regulations, and product preservation. The research activities are focused on microbiological analysis, chemical residue detection (e.g., histamine), physicochemical testing, and shelf-life studies. The laboratory also explores innovative preservation techniques to improve product quality and traceability in the fisheries supply chain.

Looking ahead, the laboratory aims to become a regional hub of innovation in food safety, targeting the modernization of its analytical infrastructure, integration of molecular technologies and sensor-based systems, while expanding its reach to international research collaborations.
