Modern aquaculture is an innovative enterprise. Techniques and technologies are often rapidly developed and implemented by industry for production gain, improvements to biosecurity and disease control, the securing of animal welfare and minimizing environmental impacts. Our lab works across all of these issues to solve some of the big issues in modern aquaculture. We target problems, work to understand them, then test innovative techniques and technologies. We work across traditional discipline boundaries to construct approaches that have best chance of practical effect and can be scaled-up to be used on farms.
