Anja Striberny

I am a Senior Scientist in the Department of Production Biology, where I investigate how aquaculture environments can be tailored to fish biology to promote fish welfare, health, and robustness in both the short and long term. My research focuses particularly on how environmental factors such as light and temperature, individually and in combination, influence fish growth, development, and physiology.

I am a fish physiologist with a background in growth physiology and seasonal rhythms in salmonids, and I have extensive experience in designing and conducting controlled experiments. In my research, I use both traditional physiological approaches and tools from functional genomics to gain a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying fish responses to environmental conditions.

I hold a PhD from UiT The Arctic University of Norway (2013–2018), where my research focused on key mechanisms regulating appetite in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). Following my doctoral studies, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at UiT from 2018 to 2021, investigating smoltification and physiological adaptations to seawater in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).
