Pour plus de renseignements, contacter Michael Rust, Sustainable Aquaculture Program Manager, Northwest Fisheries Science Center, 2725 Montlake Blvd. E., Seattle, WA, 98112, Phone (206) 860-3382 mike.rust(a)noaa.gov Postdoc in Applied Marine Aquaculture What: Two year funded postdoc to improve spawning and shipping methods for sablefish, located at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (Seattle, Washington) and Troutlodge Marine Farms, LLC (Kona, Hawaii). Position will be based at the Manchester Research Station in Washington State, but will also require travel to Kona to work with industry partners. We are looking for a blend of practical and scientific skills to help bridge the gap between laboratory and commercial development of marine fish hatcheries. Candidate should have expertise in Reproduction and/ or Stress Physiology in fish. Previous experience with halibut or sablefish hatcheries preferred. Commercial aquaculture experience a plus. Project Objectives: We intend to build on successful methods developed by our own work and Canadian researchers by addressing the following areas: maximize production and quality of egg/sperm through improved induced spawning techniques using delayed-release implants (Objective 1), develop optimal egg incubation methods (Objective 2), develop yolk-sac incubation methods (Objective 3) and, develop larval rearing methods (Objective 4). We will add to this studies intended to optimize survival following air shipment of sablefish juveniles (Objective 5). During this project we will provide outreach (Objective 6) in two ways, first in the more traditional approach with publications, demonstrations, a hatchery manual, and internships; but also by working side-by-side with an aquaculture company interested in development of a sablefish hatchery and use their commercial sablefish facility for scale-up and some of the research.
