Aquaculture has a central role to play to feed a rapidly growing population. By 2050, the protein demand will have almost doubled, and aquaculture has the potential to supply most of it. But doubling production of finfish, shellfish, crustaceans, and seaweed in the next 30 years is a massive challenge. It will require critical thinking (sustainable and environment conscious) and impeccable execution (innovation).I am a scientist and an entrepreneur. I am passionate about Aquaculture and have been studying and in academia researching fish farming for the last 25 years. I have expertise in fish infectious diseases, immunology, genetics, molecular biology and genome engineering. Together with Stefanie Lobnig, we created Aquanzo Ltd to address the limited supply of marine protein to support the sustainable development of aquaculture. Aquanzo is developing technologies to enable farming marine protein and increase the availability of marine ingredients for the aquafeed industry, while protecting the Ocean.
