Aquaculture research led by School of Environment and Natural Resources faculty and graduate students was recently presented at “Aquaculture America 2017” (February 19-22, 2017) in San Antonio, TX.

Themed 'Forging New Frontiers', the international conference brings together leading scientists and experts in the field of aquaculture, and is the only major national aquaculture conference and exposition held in the U.S.

The conference was organized by the World Aquaculture Society, U.S. Aquaculture Society, National Aquaculture Association and the Aquaculture Suppliers Association.

 

Two SENR students were recognized with awards at the conference.

Congratulations to:

Thomas Delomas, who received the USAS-Merck Best Presentation award for, “A New Protocol for Exploring the Potential Growth Thomas DelomasRate of Zebrafish Larvae and Juveniles.” Thomas is a PhD student in the SENR specializing in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences. Dr. Dabrowski serves as his advisor.

Kevin Fisher, an undergraduate student in the school majoring in Environmental Science, who is also advised by Dr. Dabrowski, was awarded the RAS “Yellow Book” Undergraduate Student Travel Grant.
