Research

Aquaculture

My research is centred on aquatic animal health, and its impact for aquaculture. I have conducted research into abalone health and physiology under adverse environmental conditions. This included examining the respiratory and osmoregulatory physiology of these animals. Other research projects into bacterial disease occurrence, treatment and prevention for abalone led to work on respiratory physiology of Atlantic salmon affected by amoebic gill disease. This work included examination of respiration rates, blood gas content and oxygen loading of affected fish, and the impacts of treatment on the fish. Current research interest include physiology of disease-affected aquatic animals, new species development for aquaculture, physiology of aquatic animals in live transport and environmental toxicology of marine crustaceans.
