Benjamin Clokie

Benjamin Clokie serves as a Lecturer in Aquatic Health & Host-Environment Interactions at the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, where he investigates commercial fin-fish production systems and their physiological impacts on aquatic species.

His research program centers on environmental stimuli effects, with key focus areas:

• Light spectrum/intensity influences on developmental ontogeny
• Dietary and production system impacts on fish health
• Husbandry practices and gill microbial population dynamics
• Host-environment interactions affecting animal welfare
• Application of transcriptomics and metagenomics in aquaculture

Dr. Clokie employs advanced molecular profiling to optimize aquaculture sustainability, bridging commercial production needs with animal welfare considerations through empirical analysis of physical inputs and biological responses.
