As a lecturer in Aquaculture Nutrition, I bring a unique perspective to the field due to my background in the Bahamas. This has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the diversity of marine ecosystems, which drives my passion for understanding the impact of changing environments on the nutritional needs of farmed aquatic species, particularly crustaceans such as Artemia, lobsters and penaeids.
With expertise in developing sustainable and resilient feeding strategies, I have experience formulating diets, analyzing lipid and amino acid content, and evaluating immune response and flesh quality. My work also focuses on extracting bioactive compounds from mollusk by-products to promote the health of farmed aquatic species.
My ultimate goal is to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for farmed aquatic species in changing environments.
High School Networking Event
https://www.susaquastirling.net/…-school-outreach
Led the organization of high school students being hosted at the Institute of Aquaculture, an event sponsored by Salmon Scotland, and assisted by PhD students. The event included a campus tour, PhD flash presentations, lunch (pizzas and soft drinks), and a scavenger hunt.

Aurora is designed to inspire and encourage women in academic and professional roles in higher education to consider leadership in their career and develop themselves as leaders. While some progress has been made, women continue to remain underrepresented in leadership roles in higher education. In order to continue to redress the balance we need women who can be the leaders of tomorrow to have the aspiration, skills, knowledge and opportunity to pursue these roles.
My research interests include:
Investigating the nutritional requirements of aquatic species, specifically crustaceans, in response to changing environments
Exploring the utilization of mollusc by-products in aquaculture feeds, with a focus on extracting bioactive compounds
Studying the interaction between aquaculture feeds and the environment, including the effects on water quality and ecological systems.
Assessing the potential for selection and improvement of red seaweed affected by increasing water temperatures in Tanzania
