Food web ecology I am interested in how major ecological processes such as competition predation control foodweb functions, and in turn how these findings can be used to improve aquaculture production. I aim to explore trophic interactions along the food chain including primary producers (algae), primary consumers (rotifers, cladocerans, copepods and oysters) and secondary consumers (fish and crustacean). My research scales include microcosm (i.e., flasks, aquaria), mesocosm (tanks, enclosures, cages and ponds) and field experiments in lakes, reservoirs and coastal waters. Feeding ecology and larval fish biology Research efforts are toward understanding the functional mechanisms of growth and feeding in aquatic organisms (finfish, crustacean and oysters) with a focus on fish larval and juveniles. Research activities involve the studies of feeding behaviour, feeding efficiency, filtering rate, diet selection, food preference, and ontogenetic diet shifts in fish larvae and juveniles. Aquaculture Aquaculture is a field of applied science which integrates multidisciplinary research efforts and aims to increase production efficiency and optimise economic returns. With general interest in ecology, I am interested in applying the basic principles of ecology and feeding biology into aquaculture production of a variety of organisms that are suitable for aquaculture. My research includes the following disciplines: Aquatic animal nutrition Greenwater and live food production Environmental stress Oyster reproduction My interest in algal culture has gone beyond the production as a basal food to primary consumers in aquaculture. The reliance of petroleum sourced fuels is now widely recognise as unsustainable because of depleting supplies and the contribution of these fuels to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the environment. Renewable, carbon neutral, transport fuels are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability.
