Biography
Ph.D. Researcher Biological Sciences (Fish Health and Nutrition) - University of Plymouth
Research Title: Improved dietary formulations for growth and health of omnivorous freshwater fish
Director of Studies: Dr Daniel Merrified
2nd Supervisor: Dr Victor Kuri
The objective of the research is to enhance aquaculture sustainability and improve food security by evaluating new dietary formulations for freshwater fish, which are of high socio-economic importance to many (African) countries. To this end, the effect of selected yeast additives on the growth performance, feed utilisation, intestinal colonisation, intestinal histology, and health performance of omnivorous freshwater fish species such as Nile Tilapia and Common Carp is being examined.
