Research

Our research

We study the biology, health and ecology of fish and aquatic ecosystems, and translate that knowledge into sustainable aquaculture and fisheries management.

Aquaculture Systems

Recirculating & integrated farming

Aquaculture Systems

Designing efficient recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and integrated multi-trophic farms that raise more fish with less water, energy and waste.

Fish Nutrition & Feed

Sustainable feeds for farmed fish

Fish Nutrition & Feed

Replacing fishmeal with insect, algal and plant proteins while maintaining growth, health and fillet quality of farmed species.

Fish Health & Disease

Immunology and pathogen control

Fish Health & Disease

Understanding fish immune responses and developing vaccines, probiotics and rapid diagnostics against bacterial and viral diseases.

Aquatic Ecology & Conservation

Healthy ecosystems, healthy fisheries

Aquatic Ecology & Conservation

Monitoring fish populations and habitats with eDNA, acoustic telemetry and field surveys to inform conservation and stock management.

Fisheries Biotechnology

Genomics for selective breeding

Fisheries Biotechnology

Applying genomics, transcriptomics and marker-assisted selection to breed faster-growing, disease-resistant aquaculture strains.

Post-harvest & Seafood Quality

From catch to consumer

Post-harvest & Seafood Quality

Improving freshness, safety and shelf-life of seafood through novel processing, cold-chain monitoring and quality biomarkers.
