I am a specialist in nutritional immunology focusing on feed additives and fish health and welfare management. My research is primarily aimed at commercially important fish and shellfish species such as rainbow trout, Arctic char, and shrimps. I use the brine shrimp Artemia as a model organism for studying various aspects of feed additives. My research is focused on three main areas: evaluating novel feed additives for their health benefits, customizing functional feeds for different aquaculture systems, and exploring nutritional programming as a strategy for sustainable production in farmed fish and shrimps. Through my research, I aim to identify candidate additives for functional feed development and provide practical solutions to help fish farmers meet the optimal requirements of their target species during challenging parts of the production cycles.
