Good morning! I'm an incoming graduate level student who will be working in an extrusion lab, and I'm exploring research ideas for extrusion based feed in aquaculture. My graduate advisor and I are looking into several different areas of research, including processing parameters, alternative ingredients, feed durability, optimal feed to gain ratios etc.
The problem for me is that while my college is really good on the processing side of things (extrusion and feed production), we are in the Midwest and there are very few aquaculture companies around here. So that brings me here: I wanted to reach out and see if I could get a general feel for what some of the problems in the industry are that relate to feed production and specifically extruded feed. I am of course doing my own research and digging into the existing body of literature, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to reach out to some industry folks in here and see what you all had to say!
I’m trying to decide if it is worth attending. I’m very interested in the field and would like to use the conference as a networking opportunity as a recent graduate.
However, I’m nervous to pull the trigger (registration fees, travel, hotel, food, etc.) especially if the whole conference will become virtual due to COVID.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for this achievement and i wanted to know what we have to do exactly.
Have we to only caught fish or sea plants ? Or we have to sell them also ?
I placed many harbours in my cities and it keeps getting fish and producing sea plants. It seems a very long achievement.
So i wanted to know if i'm doing the right thing ? I just have to wait, right ?
Thank you.
Hey,
im actually interested in the Master programs of the Aquaculture institute in Stirling. Im actually coming from an different background and currently study environment- and bioresourcemanagment . 1 year ago i actually found my love for aquatic pathology, especially parasitology. It wasnt planned at all and i never heard of it or think about it before,but i always have worked in the fish farming industry or dealt with fish in my life.So it kinda make sense. I asked to work together with a aquatic veterinarien 1 year ago and and work with him beside studying as an intern since.I also took every module at university that has to do with fish farming and Parasitology or Pathogens of aquatic life but our university isnt really specialised in that field. I feel like i finally found my passion in life, something productive.I get great results in that modules as in real life and it motivates me even more to pursue that career. Sadly i struggled for 3-4 years caused by an chronic infection that wasnt diagnosed`for a long time. Now the treatment is paying off and i can be more and more productive since 1 year. Sadly my grades are mediocre because of that and i have a lot of modules that arent related to the aquaculture in my study. Also i am a long term student because i never wanted to quit my study, even at the worst points in the last years.I am a little unsure how to explain that to a academic admission and how this will affect my application.
Enough of my story. What i am really interested is how the programmes are for students?I have already searched alot to get all the information about them, but it would be great to get first hand insights.How practical is it? Aquatic pathobiology would be my favorite master program. What is the environment for students? Are u gaining real life skills aside of academic research? Is the institute really that great as everyone is saying? How are the teachers? Are they supportive and challenging you to your best potential? Has anyone changed his career from an unrelated bachelor into an master in aquaculture?
I really would appreciate your insights,thoughts and experiences.

I'm considering pursuing a PhD but am uncertain whether the benefits will outweigh the costs. Currently I'm pursuing a masters in fish nutrition. If I transition to a PhD I will be specializing in molecular biology and tissue engineering. My project work revolves around artificial intestinal models for nutrition research.
There hasn't been a whole lot of money going into developing intestinal models (or any kind of organ models) in fish, but is starting to change due to the limitations of conventional methods. I am also open to the biotech industry if I am unable to secure a job in aquaculture research.
What thoughts do you guys have?
Any former Zambia volunteers have advice? Any other cohort members get an invite today?
Same as above
Same as above.
We recently had a chance to tour the aquaculture facility at Lethbridge College.
Some quick highlights:
- All the waste is processed and then used in their greenhouses or sold commercial ly for $25(dilutes down 40x).
- They use biochar beds as BOTH a mechanical and biological filter. (This was a neat set up).
- Any fish mortalities are processed through bioreactors and this fertilizer is then used in their greenhouses as well.
We were able to get some footage and throw it together here: Aquaculture Centre of Excellence
