ACE Aquatic Veterinary Consultancy
Susan Kueh - Tropical Futures Institute Limited
01 Mar 2022 - 28 Feb 2023
This consultancy will provide a holistic end-to-end Aquatic Veterinary Service to ACE to boost production and biosecurity, including aquatic pathogen diagnostics to support disease management, and people development to build skills in aquatic animal health at the farm level. Diagnostic tools such as histopathological and molecular diagnostic techniques will be included in service provided. The fee supports holistic on-farm outreach, biosecurity audits, veterinary consultations and disease diagnostic services linked to improving production, reducing mortalities and upskilling farm staff.
Evaluation of functional feed additives to control diseases of importance in aquaculture species in Singapore & the tropics
Susan Kueh - Tropical Futures Institute Limited
15 Oct 2021 - 14 Oct 2022
Aim: Evaluation of functional feed additives to control diseases of importance in aquaculture species in Singapore & the tropics. Specific feed additives to be tested 1. Medium chain organic acids for improved gut health in fry at weaning and early nursery fish, and 2. Monoglycerides to improve resistance against virus in late nursery and early stage grow-out fish. 2 Phase Study 1. Trial organic acids in weaning and early nursery diet @Allegro 2. Mono-glycerides late nursery and early grow-out stage fingerlings at SAT. Select functional feeds will be evaluated in weaned and early nursery fish at Allegro, and late nursery/ early grow-out at SAT, using a combination of growth rates, FCRs, histopathology, haematology, transcriptomics (gene expression), qPCR of tissue and environmental samples, host and environmental microbiome analyses.
Consultancy - Aquatic Animal Health & Biosecurity Bali 29 June - 01 July 2024
Susan Kueh - Tropical Futures Institute Limited
29 Jun 2024 - 01 Jul 2024
The purpose of this consultancy is to review the fish health management and biosecurity practices at 2 marine aquaculture facilities that farms mainly barramundi/ Asian seabass and groupers. The farms are interested in improving these practices, and better manage important common diseases in these two aquaculture species. Adisseo Asia Pacific will be paying for the consultancy fees and all travel expenses related to this trip, as part of their extension outreach to fish farms in the AP region.
Seafood Consumption and Production Trends – Singapore Market Study
Susan Kueh - Tropical Futures Institute Limited
01 Aug 2021 - 31 Dec 2021
The research project seeks to provide WWF-Singapore with detailed information around trends in seafood supply and apparent consumption in Singapore, with a focus at the species level. The analysis will also involve the calculations around the volume of certified and non-certified seafood imported into and exported from Singapore, disaggregated by species. The analysis will also seek to both identify the sectors and respective major buyers that are importing seafood, and calculate seafood import volume (down to species level) for each identified sector/buyer. Finally, the analysis will also seek to cover total production volume of local aquaculture farms, disaggregated by species, and the market share of individual farms. The results from this study will be used to inform WWF-Singapore’s seafood strategy
