Research activities
You will join a rich research group containing postdoctoral research fellows, PhD students and masters students working on various aspects of nutrition, health, disease, behaviour, microbiomes and welfare of species of fish, crustaceans and molluscs of commercial relevance.
This area is supported by research councils such as the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Innovate UK and European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. Other research projects are funded by commercial and industrial companies such as BioMar, Lallemand SAS, Leiber GmbH, Clasado Biosciences, Skretting, Alltech Coppens as well as leading research centres globally in Brazil, Chile, China and elsewhere.
We actively engage with hatcheries, aquaculture farms and various other organisations nationally and internationally to support and conduct research and development at fundamental and applied levels.
