People of Aquaculture biology and Fisheries ecology

Geert Wiegertjes is chair of the Aquaculture biology and Fisheries ecology group. He has a broad interest, from fish immunology to the interaction between fish nutrition and health in aquatic production systems. Wiegertjes underscores the urgent and global need for a sustainable production of (shell)fish products in a world where demands for seafood are rising rapidly. To meet these increased demands, there is a strong need to find bio-inspired solutions.
