Developing fish diets for warming oceans
We are using energy efficient diets to mitigate the effects of thermal stress and improve resilience and welfare of farmed fish in warming oceans.
Project leads: Craig Franklin, Andrew Barnes
Zooplankton and fisheries futures
We are developing a global ecosystem model with zooplankton to improve estimates of future global fisheries production and how it is likely to vary regionally.
Project lead: Anthony Richardson
Ecotourism and large pelagic species
We are assessing the impact of climate variability and fisheries on manta-based ecotourism in the Indo-Pacific region.
Project leads: Mike Bennett, Anthony Richardson, Jennifer Ovenden
Small shark fisheries in South-East Asia
We are investigating the biology and population structure of Chiloscyllium in Indonesian waters, as they can be a more sustainable fisheries than larger bodied sharks.
Project leads: Ian Tibbetts, Christine Dudgeon, Mike Bennett
Ameliorating mushy tuna syndrome
Mushy tuna syndrome results in fish being captured that are not fit for human consumption. We are addressing the scale of the problem in the Indo-Pacific to improve tuna stocks.
Project leads: Ian Tibbetts, Simone Blomberg, Matthew Holden
Solomon Island women in fisheries
Food security is critical to subsistence communities. We are studying the major role of women fishers to Solomon Island community-based fisheries and resource planning.
Project leads: Ian Tibbetts, Ian Lilley
Biology and conservation of sailfish
We are using advanced genomic approaches, satellite tagging and tag and release data from charter fisheries to improve the conservation of this iconic species.
Project leads: Ian Tibbetts, Christine Dudgeon
Seaweed farming and rural livelihoods in Indonesia
We are currently undertaking a large project with range of topics which involve social, economic and/or technological assessments of the impact of seaweed farming on rural livelihoods and coastal environments.
Project leads: Scott Waldron, Zannie Langford
