Fisheries & Aquaculture

Johnathan Szeliga is a graduate student at the University of Guelph working on his master’s thesis in Animal Nutrition in Dr. Dominique Bureau’s Fish Nutrition Lab. As part of his thesis he has joined Dr. Wael Ahmed’s Research Team from the University of Guelph’s School of Engineering that is working on improving the energy efficiency in aquaculture through the testing and implementation of the novel airlift design. His focus on the project will be assessing the pump’s ability to maintain ideal water quality conditions for rainbow trout through oxygenation, carbon dioxide stripping and waste removal through water flow.
