The use of marine-derived feedstuffs (i.e., fish oil and fish meal) in aquafeeds is controversial because these products act as vectors for environmental contaminants which can accumulate in fish tissues. Unfortunately, these feedstuffs are also the source of beneficial long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which impart nutritional value to cultured seafood. The successful applicant will be responsible for conducting research evaluating the dynamics of fatty acid profile change and accumulation of persistent organic pollutants in hybrid striped bass, with the goal of identifying nutritional strategies to minimize risk and maximize value of cultured seafood.
