      "The proposed innovation is a pipeline for the development of custom, low-cost, rapid diagnostic kits (point of care; PoC) focused on aquatic targets and environments. The long-term goal is to create a service that will allow for streamlined design, creation, validation, and, if necessary, regulatory oversight of tests for detecting the presence of specific bacteria, viruses, parasites, invasive species, functional markers, and organisms with biosensor relevance to aquatic animal and ecosystem health.",
      "As part of the international consortium project “BPL”, this project will focus on the development of a pathway between Brazil and Canada for the controlled sharing of current and geographically relevant aquaculture pathogens in a stable culture-friendly format. Cultured pathogens will be utilized by participants from both countries to create a test system for products aimed at prevention or treatment of disease in aquaculture species.",
