Biological remediation of aquaculture waste
My research encompasses three broad areas, ecological physiology, finfish aquaculture and biological remediation of aquaculture waste. Current projects within each of these areas are; 1) resolving the physiological attributes that underpin swimming performance in labriform swimmers and exploring the relationship between aerobic scope and habitat parameters, 2) identifying egg quality indices and relating egg biochemistry to larval quality in captive broodstocks, and 3) biological remediation of aquaculture waste using sea cucumbers.
