Studying nutrient requirements and metabolism of fish as well as evaluation of feedstuffs and diet formulations for application to aquaculture: Basic nutrition of fishes and shellfishes, with primary emphasis on species cultured for human consumption. Research activities include determining dietary requirements for and metabolism of various nutrients. Consideration is given to such aspects as nutritional energetics, nutrition-disease interactions, and nutritional biochemistry of fish as it relates to human health. Research is coordinated to provide a comprehensive basic nutrition program which is targeted to improve production efficiency in aquaculture and enhance the quality of resulting products.
