Abstract:
This joint PhD between Bremen University and Ghent University is situated in framework of the EU project GAIN (Green Intensification of Aquaculture in Europe) in which 21 partners collaborate to obtain more efficient and more ecological feeds that improve fish health and welfare in aquaculture. This study will focus on the effects of alternative feed ingredients on juvenile sea bream and turbot to test health, welfare, stress physiology, quality, and performance in controlled recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).
