Three lab members, Dr. Sarker, Dr. McKuin, and Dr. Kapuscinski, participated a national Algae in Aquafeed workshop (March 5, 2022) at which researchers, algae production companies, aquaculture businesses, and environmental non-profits addressed opportunities, barriers and challenges for scaling up inclusion of microalgae and macroalgae in aquaculture feeds. Dr. Sarker presented on R&D on algae replacement of fishmeal and oil; Dr. McKuin presented progress on developing an open-access decision support tool for sustainable aquafeed; and Dr. Kapuscinski commented on the sustainability imperative and moderated a breakout group. A full recording of the workshop is now available and included below.
