Amritha Johny
PhD
Scientist
I work as a researcher in the Department of Fish Health. My areas of work are centered around fish health and nutrition, and particularly within the areas related to “green fish feed” and the transfer of bioactive compounds or toxins from feed to fish and its impact on fish health and consumer safety. My main research activities and interests are aimed at improving the health and welfare of fish and providing safe fish for human consumption. I also work with in vitro skin models and salmon skin pathogens. I have a PhD at the Veterinary Institute (Research Group Toxinology). My main focus was assessments of anti-nutritional factors, especially phytoestrogens and mycotoxins in plant-based feed and their biotransformation and transfer to the edible part of fish.
