Katheline Hua

Katheline Hua is a researcher affiliated with the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University. Her work focuses on Aquaculture Nutrition, particularly the optimization of fish feed formulations and nutrient utilization in aquatic species.

Her research has produced significant publications in journals like the Journal of the World Aquaculture Society and Aquaculture, with a strong emphasis on mathematical modeling to predict nutrient requirements and waste outputs. Key areas include:

• Replacement of fish meals with alternative protein sources (e.g., insect meals, plant proteins)
• Development of functional feed ingredients (e.g., Ulva lactuca for bioremediation)
• Quantifying phosphorus and amino acid digestibility in salmonids and other fish species

Hua’s publications from 2005–2023 highlight trends in sustainable aquaculture practices, feed efficiency modeling, and environmental impact mitigation through nutritional innovation. Her work often involves international collaborations and meta-analytical approaches to address global aquaculture challenges.
