Aquaculture and Environmental Factors

Wild captured seafood is expected to be extinct near future. Aquaculture is an alternative way to support our food resources. To understand the influence of environmental stressors on aquaculture species and to find the optimal conditions to increase the production of aquaculture species in a sustainable way are goals of our project.

• Research on the environments to increase aquaculture production

• Optimal diet for mandarin fish

• Optimal sediment characteristics (e.g. sediment grain size, sorting) for Manila clams

• Effects of warming and freshening on Manila clams

• Effects of warming and hypoxia on Manila clams

• Effects of ocean acidification on Manila clams

• Effects of warming on abalone

• Effects of upwelling conditions (e.g. low pH and low oxygen) on abalone
