Research
The aquarium is not only an exhibition space: it is a laboratory with active lines of work, its own data and theses under way. Each line is explained twice — first in short, then in detail.
Active lines
Dietas alternativas para trucha arcoíris
Buscar cómo alimentar truchas con ingredientes vegetales en lugar de harina de pescado.
Nutrición del langostino prieto
Averiguar qué necesita comer el langostino prieto para crecer sano en cultivo.
Microplásticos en sistemas de producción acuícola
Medir cómo se acumulan los microplásticos en peces que después se comen.
Efecto de la temperatura en la fisiología de la trucha
Entender qué le pasa al cuerpo de la trucha cuando cambia la temperatura del agua.
What is being added
A molecular and genetic analysis approach is being incorporated into the four existing lines. It is not a separate line: it is a tool that cuts across all of them.
What it has led to
The laboratory's work has had an impact on rainbow trout production in Mexico, and over the years it has worked with producers. In the case of freshwater prawns, the species is now understood in far more depth, which can help its conservation.
Thesis work
The team named these topics without authorship or year. They are listed as they are, and will be completed as the data comes in.
Estrés térmico en trucha arcoíris
Cómo responde la trucha cuando la temperatura del agua se sale de su rango.
Desempeño de diversas harinas, animales y vegetales, en langostinos
