– I've been out in the large saltwater lagoon and for fishing expeditions to different atolls. I've followed the tuna economy onshore by visiting loining plants, participating in industry events and interviewing various tuna actors. Fieldwork is stimulating but also emotionally and psychologically exhausting, Ola G. Berta says of his fieldwork in the Marshall Islands. In this interview, he also... Read more
– By studying the immune responses to different pathogens in lumpfish, I have identified critical factors that promote the health and resilience of the fish. These findings not only pave the way for developing targeted vaccines and immune-boosting strategies for lumpfish but also hold potential for broader applications across other aquaculture species, says SEAS fellow Shreesha Sadashiva Rao.
SEAS fellows span a variety of scientific fields from geology and biology to informatics and law. Some of this variety will also be evident on Monday 28. October, with keynotes and pitches from selected SEAS fellows including topics like «Deep Learning for Smart Shipping» and «the response of macroalgae in a changing climate».
We can only reach the 2030 goal of a sustainable ocean, as SDG14, Life Below Water, envisages, through common and shared governance that excludes no one and belongs to everyone, SEAS Postdoctoral fellow João Bettencourt writes.
– If we’re able to develop a vaccine against the salmon louse, this will be a more sustainable alternative than chemical treatments, which are harmful for the environment or stressful for the fish, SEAS fellow Virginie Comorge says.
– Findings from my project have the potential to enhance aquaculture production, increase the sustainability of marine food production and consumption, improve management of marine habitats and help in reducing invasive species, says SEAS fellow Zoran Šargač.
- The study of the effect of climate change on the algae life cycle brings about needed actions for the future of coastal ecosystems, says SEAS fellow Juan Manuel Valero Rodríguez. Only by analyzing how severe our impacts are on such important food chain components can measures be taken to minimize their effects.
How do you get a group of social scientists, biologists, oceanographers, mathematics and informatics scientists to find common ground? How do they overcome their differences in background, methodology and language to unite to address questions and issues that span their different disciplines? Maybe by sending a group of SEAS fellows out into the fjords for a couple of days of isolation and focus... Read more
Just around the corner from where Johan Hjort did part of his groundbreaking research on herring, the next generation of ocean research leaders are gathered for the first time.
