Teaching
NUTR 3002: Fish Nutrition
Research Topics
- Aquaculture nutrition and production
- Lipids and fatty acids
- Environmentally sustainable feeds
- Fatty acid biosynthesis in fish
- Nutrigenomics
- Impact of climate change on nutrient availability and metabolism in aquaculture/ecosystems
- Farmed seafood nutritional quality
The overall goal of my research is to discover novel solutions in nutrition to improve aquaculture and contribute toward healthier, environmentally sustainable, and economically viable farmed seafood. My particular interest is in understanding the mechanisms of fatty acid biosynthesis in fish in order to increase tissue storage of essential fatty acids, for optimal fish health and for human consumption. 听
