Aquaculture 2013
During Aquaculture 2013, an international conference hosted by the World Aquaculture Society, Konrad Dabrowski and his students Bong-Joo Lee, John Grayson, and Timothy Parker, made 7 presentations. Dr. Dabrowski was the busiest of the group, presenting 3 of the presentations. Bong-Joo Lee presented his latest research on methionine supplementation in salmonids. He also presented research on diets of juvenile olive flounder that he conducted in his new position at the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute in Pohang, South Korea. John Grayson presented advances in yellow perch larvae culture made this past year within the lab, and Timothy Parker presented part of his thesis research looking at the impacts of un-inflated swim bladder in yellow perch larvae and how it influences their tolerance to hypoxia.
