C. Young Cho is adjunct professor and a member of the Associate Graduate Faculty at the University of Guelph (Canada) and serves on the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Fisheries Branch. He received his doctorate in agriculture from Kyushu University (Japan) in fish nutrition. Among his research interests are nutritional energetics and protein and lipid metabolism; design of fish nutrition laboratory and aquaculture systems; and diet development, feed manufacturing, and evaluation.
Colin B. Cowey is professor of nutritional science at the University of Guelph (Canada) College of Biological Science. Previously, he was Acting Director of the Institute of Marine Biochemistry, a branch of the Natural Environment Research Council in Aberdeen, Scotland. He received his D.Sc. in nutritional biochemistry from the University of Durham (Ireland). His primary research field includes nutrition of marine and freshwater fish and the physiological basis of nutritional requirements.
Konrad Dabrowski, since 1989, has been a professor at Ohio State University's School of Natural Resources. Most recently he was a visiting professor at the Institute for Zoology at the University of Innsbruck (Austria) where he also received his Ph.D. in 1976 and D.Sc. in 1984. Current research areas include fish physiology and ecology, aquatic animal nutrition, and comparative animal biochemistry.
Steven Hughes serves as research physiologist at the Monell Chemical Sense Center, a branch of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He received his Ph.D. in fish nutrition and physiology from Cornell University. His research experience includes vitamin and branched-chain requirements and biochemistry in fish, chemosensory stimuli and food intake relationships in fish.
Santosh Lall is a research scientist at the Halifax Laboratory (Canada). He holds a Ph.D. in nutrition from the University of Guelph. Research interests include nutritent requirements of salmonid fishes in fresh water and sea water.
Richard T. Lovell (Chair) is professor of fisheries and allied aquaculture at Auburn University. He received his Ph.D. from Louisiana State University in nutrition and biochemistry. His many concurrent positions include columnist for Aquaculture magazine, to which he has contributed since 1974. His primary areas of research are fish nutrition, especially vitamin C requirements and energy metabolism of warm-water fish cultured for food, and environment-related off-flavors in intensively cultured food fishes.
Takeshi Murai is Research Coordinator at the National Institute of Fisheries Science in Tokyo. He received his Ph.D. in nutrition and physiology from the University of Georgia and has worked extensively in the United States and Japan. His current areas of research include efficient utilization of plant feedstuffs by carnivorous fish, amino acid and protein metabolisms, and hormonal regulations of these nutrients in fish.
Robert P. Wilson, since 1977, has been professor of biochemistry at Mississippi State University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri-Columbia. His research interests are fish nutrition, aquacultural chemistry, and marine biochemistry.
