Henrice Jansen

Henrice Jansen is an Assistant Professor at the Wageningen Institute for Animal Sciences (WIAS), specializing in Aquaculture and Fisheries at Wageningen University & Research. Her research focuses on sustainable aquaculture systems, integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA), and the ecological impacts of shellfish and seaweed cultivation. She has contributed to projects assessing nutrient circularity in aquaculture, coastal ecosystem dynamics, and the potential of offshore aquaculture for food production.

Her work combines ecological modeling with practical applications, such as evaluating mussel farming impacts in the Oosterschelde and Wadden Sea. She collaborates on interdisciplinary projects addressing climate change adaptation in deltaic ecosystems and circular utilization of marine resources. Jansen has supervised PhD candidates exploring topics like biodiversity in marine shellfish culture, carrying capacity of low-trophic aquaculture, and modeling seaweed-bivalve systems.

Key research areas include nutrient management in aquaculture systems, bivalve species physiology, and the integration of seaweed and bivalve farming for environmental sustainability. Her publications span peer-reviewed articles, technical reports, and conference abstracts, often emphasizing real-world applications of scientific findings.
