Leveraging Aquaculture for Coral Reef Conservation
|
Marine Ornamental AquacultureAn applied component of Majoris Lab research is the development and optimization of aquaculture protocols for marine fishes and the application of automated behavior tracking and control systems to enhance aquaculture production efficiency. This research supports an ongoing transition in the aquarium trade, which is shifting away from extractive collection practices in favor of sustainably cultured livestock.

LAB UPDATE: The Majoris Lab's brand new aquarium room is operational thanks to Iwaki Aquatics and Aquabiotech. The team has exciting research planned with Clownfish, Damselfishes, Gobies, Dottybacks, Red Drum, Spotted Seatrout, Southern Flounder, and Amano Shrimp. Stay tuned for profiles, protocols, and blog posts as we kick off this research in 2025.
As we build our research program, check out these great resources from other groups working to raise and conserve marine ornamental species.
