Water quality analyser. Plankton, microbiology, cell culture laboratory. Proteins and amino acids. Lipids, lipid classes, fatty acids. Nucleotides. Carbohydrate profiling. Eicosanoids. Toxins. Minerals. Finfish and shellfish breeding and rearing. Life cycle assessment. Dietitics and food system assessment. Aquaculture Environment Interactions assessment. Limnology lab
Research themes:
(fish processing, preservation, shelf-life, human nutrition and dietics).
(nutrition and bioenergetics, aquaculture environment interaction, ponds, nutritional ecology).
(aquaponics, integrated multitrophic aquaculture).
(analytics, instrumentation, biochemistry).
kroy@frov.jcu.cz We can offer uniquely experimental pond station or aquaponic greenhouse as aquatic living labs to explore project themes on ecology, environment, nutrients, contaminants, circularity, and food system.
