I graduated in Biology from Sussex University in 1982, and an MSc in Marine Biology from Bangor University in 1989. I worked for several years on shrimp and fish nutrition and feed research and development, in collaboration with several industrial partners, with the results from this research contributed to my PhD from Bangor University in 1994. This was followed by several years working in industry and as a consultant before returning to Bangor to join EU funded research projects in SE Asia developing techniques for mangrove-integrated aquaculture and fisheries stock enhancement. I joined the academic staff in the School of Ocean Sciences as a lecturer in 2001, leading to a personal chair in October 2014. I was appointed as Director of the Centre for Applied Marine Sciences in 2012, alongside my academic role in the School.
My research has covered a broad range of aquaculture, including hatchery technologies, feeds and nutrition, aquaculture of tropical and temperate crustaceans, integration of aquaculture in coastal wetlands, wastewater remediation, and more recently bivalve shellfish aquaculture including development of offshore production systems and coastal water quality. Work on development of stock enhancement strategies has led to more ecological research in tropical and subtropical systems, principally on mangroves and seagrasses, in SE Asia, East Africa and the Arabian Gulf. My fisheries-related research has been focused on shellfish in the Irish Sea and ecosystem approaches to management of demersal fisheries in the Arabian Gulf. As director of CAMS I am also closely involved in wide range of multidisciplinary projects that link academic expertise within the School of Ocean Sciences with commercial and institutional partners in marine sectors including aquaculture, fisheries, renewable energy, coastal infrastructure development and tourism.

Menai Offshore Subsurface Shellfish Systems (MOSSS)
01/10/2018 – 31/10/2021 (Active)
Description
The Menai Offshore Subsurface Shellfish Systems (MOSSS) project is a research and innovation project led by Bangor University with collaboration and support from the shellfish industry in North Wales to develop sustainable shellfish culture techniques.
MOSSS will develop innovative new offshore rope production systems, that are technically and economically viable in challenging environmental conditions, for the collection of mussel seed, on-grow of mussels and other shellfish species in North Wales. The project will also assess the potential for expansion into other offshore areas around Wales. Understanding of the potential scale of offshore mussel culture will be achieved using modelling of hydrodynamic condition, ecological modelling to assess potential productivity and carrying capacity and development, and data on key constraints on economic production including bacterial and viral water quality and risk from biotoxins.
This project is funded by the European Structural and Investment Funds through the Welsh Government which aims to invest in job creation and a sustainable and healthy European economy and environment.

Description
The Shellfish Centre is a research & innovation initiative supporting development of the shellfish sector in Wales. The Centre will collaborate with businesses to deliver science to support growth. The main focus of the project is shellfish aquaculture and the related supply chain, with scope also for research to support new/underexploited shellfisheries and aquaculture of non-shellfish species that are compatible with shellfish production.
