Experience

My research focuses on all aspects of marine fish aquaculture including hatchery production, health and nutrition.

Projects

I am the Principal Research Scientist at the Australian Centre for Applied Aquaculture Research and an Adjunct Associate Professor at the School of Veterinary and Life Sciences at Murdoch University. I have worked in the field of marine fish aquaculture for 20 years, during which time I have worked on all aspects of production science including hatchery production and growout in both land-based recirculating systems and seacages. My research has an applied focus and I work closely with industry to overcome production challenges and bottlenecks.
