The State Laboratory of Agriculture is actively engaged in the diagnostics of fish diseases, including both viral and bacteriological infections
“Georgia holds significant potential for the development of aquaculture, and meaningful progress is being made in this direction. In light of these developments, our objective is to broaden the laboratory’s scope—this entails strengthening our capabilities and introducing advanced research methods,” stated Irakli Guledani, Director of the State Laboratory of Agriculture.
“At a time when the aquaculture sector is receiving increased national attention, the State Laboratory of Agriculture has taken proactive steps by offering representatives of the sector—local entrepreneurs and business operators—access to international-standard diagnostic services locally,” he emphasized.
Seven new diagnostic methods have been introduced within the Animal Disease Diagnostics Department, specifically for identifying fish diseases.
At present, the laboratory is capable of conducting research on up to twenty different fish diseases.
It is noteworthy that the laboratory network is continuously adopting new diagnostic techniques, which contributes to the ongoing expansion of its service capabilities. In addition, regional laboratories are being strengthened in alignment with region-specific needs.
