Aquaculture activity is becoming increasingly important for the food industry since it allows us to relieve pressure on fisheries, but at the same time, generate quality food in strategic locations for its distribution. The high density that is managed in some crops, facilitates the spread of diseases caused by pathogens of viral and bacterial origin. The use of antibiotics is controlled and avoided due to the adverse effect on the environment and the consumer due to the accumulation of said chemicals. Aquaculture biotechnology seeks to generate solutions to control pathogens, to promote the growth of cultured organisms and to reduce the impact on the environment of aquaculture activity, along with the adoption of integrated cultures. Probiotics, medicinal plant extracts and biofilms for bioremediation are some of the strategies with the greatest biotechnological potential for aquaculture improvement. There are no strategies for real public policies that promote biotechnological development of native species with aquaculture potential, so the efforts made in this regard depend only of the disposition and work of the researchers in the different centers of aquaculture research in the country, including educational institutions as the University of Guadalajara. This work seeks to take advantage of this space where academia and the productive sector gather to collect information on aquaculture practices. Attendees will be asked to enter via QR code to participate in a survey that will allow them to obtain valuable information on: main consequences on aquaculture production due to the COVID19 pandemic, main pathogen mitigation strategies, knowledge and use of biotechnological tools, integration of scientific knowledge and technology in commercial farms, use and management of water and knowledge and use of integrated cropping systems. The presentation of this work and the participation of attendees will help integrate the aquaculture regulation of the state of Jalisco and the state of aquaculture activity in Mexico, in comparison with the rest of the world.
