Robert C. Reigh

Robert C. Reigh is a Professor and Resident Director of the Aquaculture Research Station at Louisiana State University's College of Agriculture. His research focuses on aquatic animal nutrition, nutritional physiology, and sustainable aquaculture practices for warmwater species.

Reigh investigates nutrient requirements of fish and crustaceans, develops improved feeds, and explores methods to reduce nutrient inputs in aquaculture systems. His work has optimized feeding strategies and plant-based diet formulations for commercial species.

His publications demonstrate expertise in protein utilization, feeding regimes, and sustainable feed alternatives for channel catfish. Recent work examines amino acid absorption efficiency and phytase supplementation in plant-based diets.
