Activities
I am Afef Amri, a researcher at the Aquaculture Lab within the National Institute of Marine Sciences and Technologies (INSTM). My research focuses on fish physiology, with a particular interest in the mechanistic aspects of feeding in farmed fish. We're trying to adopt a multidisciplinary approach using zootechnical, biochemical and molecular tools to investigate how different ingredients influence the health, growth and overall performance of farmed fish. our works aims to better understand how various feed components interact at the physiological and molecular levels, providing insights into their potential as sustainable alternatives in aquaculture nutrition. By exploring the impacts of feed modifications, we seek to optimize feeding strategies that can improve fish welfare, growth efficiency and resistance to diseases key factors in enhancing the sustainability of aquaculture systems
Sea regions of study
Mediterranean Sea - Eastern Basin
Skills
As a Marine Aquaculture Researcher, I specialize in fish physiology, oxidative stress, and marine biotechnology, with extensive expertise in molecular biology, cell culture, oxidative stress assays, histology, and analytical techniques like HPLC-MS and GC. I have led and collaborated on national and international projects focused on sustainable aquaculture, including the development of eco-processes for microalgae cultivation and the use of phyto-supplementation in fish feeding. I have taught and supervised students in various biochemistry and life sciences courses, while also contributing as a reviewer for multiple scientific journals. My certifications in laboratory practices, quality management, and statistical analysis, alongside my proficiency in languages and software like SPSS, Minitab, and R, further support my role as a researcher and educator in the field.
