·         Development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for use in SEA aquaculture systems for bacterial sampling, isolation and preservation, for antibiotic susceptibility testing and determination of the extent of antibiotic resistance, for resistance plasmid isolation and for bacterial conjugation assays.

·         Provision of a taxonomic description of new bacterial taxa isolated from SEA aquaculture environments.

·         Characterisation of resistance to antimicrobials in bacterial populations from different compartments of SEA aquaculture ecosystems.

·         Determination of the distribution of resistance genes among a sub-set of antibiotic resistant plasmid-harbouring bacterial isolates.

·         Assessment of transferability of resistance from the aquaculture ecosystem.

·         Development of a core public database dealing with monitoring of antibiotics in aquaculture environments.
