Associate Professor Leo Nankervis is a leading researcher at James Cook University's College of Science and Engineering, where he directs the Tropical Aquafeeds Innovations Laboratory. With expertise spanning aquaculture nutrition, feed development, and sustainable practices, he bridges commercial aquaculture challenges with scientific innovation across global supply chains.
- PhD in Aquaculture (James Cook University, 2005)
- BSc(Hons) in Aquaculture (James Cook University, 1999)
His research focuses on nutritional physiology of marine species, particularly barramundi, groupers, and lobsters, while addressing sustainability through alternative protein sources and microplastic mitigation. Recent work emphasizes postprandial nutrient dynamics, lipid utilization, and functional feed additives like black garlic and chitosan.
Article trends reveal expertise in macronutrient optimization for tropical species, feed safety assessments, and physiological adaptations to environmental stressors. Key collaborations span Atlantic salmon research in Norway, lobster aquaculture in Queensland, and coral-aquaculture integration projects.
Professional affiliations include the World Aquaculture Society and FRDC Queensland Research Advisory Committee (2023). Current initiatives prioritize workforce development for aquaculture's future through 2050, reflecting his commitment to industry capacity building.
