During the week of October 7th, the first experiment with vertebrates was conducted at the LSC, led by researcher Laia Ribas, one of the crew members of the Hypatia I project.
The aim of the experiment is to study the impact of microgravity and the absence of radiation on two species: zebrafish, a key model in biomedical research, and sea bass, a species commonly used in aquaculture.
The results of GraCosFish will bring us closer to the possibility of raising fish in space.
