Survey on laboratories and consultants working in the diagnostics of European seabass and gilthead seabream diseases: preliminary results

European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) are prevailing species in Mediterranean marine finfish aquaculture, and despite an increasing demand of the global markets for high-quality seafood, production and technical performance of these two species in the EU has s...
