معرفی
Igor Pirozzi is a prominent researcher affiliated with James Cook University, specializing in aquaculture and fish nutrition. His work focuses on optimizing dietary specifications for marine species such as yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi), barramundi (Lates calcarifer), and mulloway (Argyrosomus japonicus). Through collaborations with institutions like NSW Fisheries and Aquafin CRC, he has advanced understanding of nutrient metabolism, feed digestibility, and environmental influences on aquatic organisms.
- PhD in Aquaculture (James Cook University, 2009)
Dr. Pirozzi's research spans two decades, investigating dietary requirements for sulfur amino acids, choline, and histidine. His studies often employ methodologies like stable isotope analysis and transcriptomic profiling to assess nutrient impacts on liver health, intestinal microbiota, and growth efficiency. Recent work highlights interactions between water temperature and dietary composition, emphasizing sustainable aquafeed formulation.
The 15 most recent publications reflect a focus on nutritional physiology, feed optimization, and environmental stressors. Key subfields include amino acid sparing effects, oxygen thresholds, intestinal gene expression, and digestibility of alternative protein sources. These studies consistently address challenges in aquaculture sustainability through empirical data analysis and innovative experimental designs.
