Fish and shellfish are healthy sources of protein and nutrients, and aquaculture production is growing around the world. But there are many challenges faced by these industries. Access to reliable, fast-growing disease resistant and stress resilient seedstock is needed to ensure ongoing sustainability.

My research concerns the application of genomics to the genetic improvement of fish and shellfish in aquaculture.

I have around 30 years’ experience with the genetic improvement of livestock and aquaculture species, holding more than 50 research grants and authoring of over 80 journal publications and book chapters with my many collaborators around the world.
