About Research Publications Outreach

About

I am a PhD student at ACMS, in the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science, supervised by Prof Ingrid Bakke and Prof Olav Vadstein.
I completed my B.Sc (IPB University, Indonesia) and M.Sc (James Cook University, Australia) majoring in Aquaculture Science and Technology. 

 

Competencies

  • 16s metagenomics
  • Aquaculture

Research

In my PhD, I am investigating bacterial management in the Norwegian recirculating aquaculture systems for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts production.


 

  • Analysis and Control of Microbial Systems (ACMS)

RASOPTA - Safeguarding future production of fish in aquaculture systems with water recirculation.

The primary research objectives of RASOPTA are to identify and bridge existing knowledge gaps in the production of fish species that are important to human nutrition and the economy in Europe.

Publications

Dietary supplementation of astaxanthin modulates skin color and liver antioxidant status of giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus)

We presented that dietary treatment can modulate giant grouper pigmentation and may be used in the live fish trade.
