Ocean acidification
• Unique systems to deliver measured quantities of CO2 to seawater
• Can be modified to look at SOx
• Can be used to modulate pH and multiple factor studies e.g. temperature, pH, disease etc.
Disinfectants approval scheme
• Defra has an existing scheme – this did not cover fish and shellfish diseases
• Cefas adapted existing CEN standards for use to approve disinfectants for aquaculture
• Cefas is one of a small number of labs that are able to do the testing under the scheme
– Disinfectants Listing scheme (launched Jan 2010) is a non statutory means of publicly listing disinfection products.
