Welcome to
Welcome to
We operate as a CRO (Contract Research Organization), conducting contracted studies to validate products, test technologies, and generate data applicable to the aquaculture sector.
We conduct scientific research in collaboration with universities and public or private institutions, supporting human resource development and generating applied knowledge.
Our commitment is to serve as the link between science, innovation, and the productive sector.
SERVICES
Consulting and Planning
We support the development of nutritional solutions for aquaculture through customized protocols for the validation of ingredients, additives, and feeds.
Customized Experimental Design
We develop tailored scientific protocols, defining zootechnical, physiological, and immunological parameters according to industry needs.
Study Execution and Monitoring
We conduct standardized and rigorous trials, monitoring all stages—from diet formulation to sample collection and final data analysis—with methodological precision.
Biological Analyses and Data Interpretation
We perform essential laboratory analyses (biochemical, immunological, microbiological, and physiological), integrated with technical interpretation of the results.
Data Processing and Statistical Analysis
We apply appropriate statistical methods to ensure robust data analysis, supporting interpretation and the generation of applicable conclusions.
Scientific Writing and Dissemination
We produce reports, articles, and outreach materials that connect scientific research to the market, enhancing the communication of results with clarity and impact.
FEEDING TRIALS
Eloaqua has a fully equipped and controlled structure for conducting high-precision nutritional and health studies.
We use RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture Systems) with strict water quality control, ensuring reliable and consistent data.
Our facilities include:
A quarantine area with biosafety measures;
A dedicated room for the formulation and preparation of experimental diets;
Designated areas for biometrics and sample collection.
Our infrastructure is suitable for trials with commercially relevant aquaculture species, such as tilapia and rainbow trout.
OUR TEAM
Fernando Jonas Sutili studied Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). He holds a M.Sc. and a doctorate in Pharmacology (Pharmacology Applied to Animal Production) from the same institution, and participated in a Sandwich PhD Program at Texas A&M University (TAMU, USA) - Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences. Fernando completed a Postdoctoral Degree in Fish Production and Health at UFSM and at the University of Passo Fundo (UPF), where he worked at the Laboratory of Microbiology and Advanced Immunology. His professional experience is within the area of fish nutrition and health, with emphasis on the use of phytogenic compounds to enhance performance and health.
Eduardo Kelm Battisti completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Husbandry at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), and holds a Master Degree and a PhD in Animal Husbandry from UFSM. Eduardo was an exchange student at the University of Zaragoza (Spain) during his graduate course, where he worked with trout production in raceways. He collaborated on extension/fish farming courses and projects linked to UFSM-PM in partnership with Emater-RS. In his doctoral studies, Eduardo researched about growth and health of fish cultured in biofloc-BFT system. His area of expertise is aquaculture, with emphasis on fish handling, rearing and nutrition.
Luciane Tourem Gressler holds Bachelor's degrees in Social Communication and Veterinary Medicine from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), where she also completed her Master’s and PhD in Pharmacology, as well as a Postdoctoral degree in Animal Biodiversity. She works as an external consultant, collaborating with the team on projects related to fish health, welfare, and stress, as well as ethical considerations in the use of animals in research.
