Optimising Asian seabass research and production in Singapore through an integrated approach
Susan Kueh - Tropical Futures Institute Limited
01 Nov 2025 - 31 Oct 2028
This research program, under the SFS R&D Programme 2.0, brings together experts from 8 Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) and Research Institutes (RIs) through AquaPolis. Prioritizing animal trials, it ensures that collected data and samples benefit multiple experts, fostering comprehensive research across three work packages (WPs). These work packages aim to improve fingerling robustness and quality (WP1), increase disease resistance and survival of fish during grow out phase (WP2), and develop feed that allows sustainable and high-quality fish production (WP3).
