Aquaculture already accounts for half the world’s seafood supply, with production forecast to increase in the coming decades. Effective nutrition is a cornerstone to efficient animal production, but is often less than ideal in aquacultured species. Our research aims to fill vital knowledge gaps to allow producers to effectively and sustainably feed their animals.

As part of this, we aim to understand the underlying physiological and biochemical impacts feeds can have on a variety of species; including grouper, lobster and freshwater crayfish. Pathways to impact are critical for all our research, as are questions around the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of different feed sources for producers.
