Project description
Our lab investigates the effects of different ingredients in formulated feeds for Australian abalone. The aim in several of these studies was to promote survival when elevated water temperature would otherwise cause mortality. Mortality occurs via damage to abalone gill structure and subsequent bacterial infection. Examining gill structure using histology offers insights into how abalone are protected from damage. This work is highly relevant in times of rising seawater temperatures.
