Aquaculture Expert

Aquaculture is a term that broadly applies to the cultivation of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, aquatic animals, seaweeds and other aquatic plants. Aquaculture production systems may operate within both freshwater and marine environments, and can also be totally self-contained on land. This production practice is used globally to grow widely consumed species categories such as carp, catfish, salmonids, shrimp, and tilapia, to name just a few.  

As both a commercial activity and focus for research, aquaculture requires input and expertise from multiple disciplines. Broadly, an expert should have a strong biology background with a keen knowledge of physiology and nutrition. An understanding of systems engineering and optimization is also required. Aquaculture experts can assist clients with numerous projects from developing best practices for new species to improving operations within existing facilities. Generally, an expert should be able to outline the nutritional and environmental requirements that will sustain the growth of the animal or plant species in question. Experts can also help with system adjustments that lead to more sustainable operations in areas like feed conversion efficiencies, water re-circulation, and waste handling.
