Problem
Aquaculture operations face challenges in maintaining water quality, preventing disease outbreaks, and optimizing yields due to the complex and dynamic nature of aquatic microbiomes. Traditional methods for monitoring water quality and detecting pathogens are often slow, labor-intensive, and lack the specificity needed for targeted interventions. This can lead to delayed responses to emerging problems, increased mortality rates, and reduced profitability.
Solution
Luminis Water Technologies provides aquaculture farmers with rapid microbiome analysis and pathogen detection using on-site PCR testing and Next-Gen Sequencing (NGS). Their solutions enable real-time monitoring of water quality parameters, early identification of disease risks, and precise application of targeted interventions, including custom probiotic formulations. By decoding the DNA of aquatic environments, Luminis delivers actionable insights that empower farmers to proactively manage their operations, optimize inputs, and improve overall stock health.
Target Audience
Aquaculture farmers, including those operating ponds, tanks, and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), who seek to improve water quality, prevent disease outbreaks, and optimize yields.
