Gregory J. Coman

Gregory J. Coman is a Researcher affiliated with James Cook University (JCU). His research focuses on aquaculture and marine biology, particularly on the genetics and health of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). He contributes to understanding viral resistance mechanisms, genetic parameters, and breeding strategies for commercially important shrimp species.

Key research areas include genome assembly, gill-associated virus (GAV) tolerance, and the application of molecular tools like PIT tagging for population management. His work addresses challenges in shrimp farming, such as maintaining genetic diversity and improving disease diagnostics.

Coman has collaborated with institutions like JCU’s aquaculture and genetics teams, publishing extensively in journals such as G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics and Aquaculture.
