The primary outcomes of this research include:
1) increased knowledge and demonstration of the efficacy of automated timed feeding systems
2) increased knowledge and demonstration of automated feedback feeding systems based on acoustic feedback (AQ1 acoustic on demand feeder), and
3) demonstration of high soy feed formulations under optimized growing conditions. Results have been directly transferred to the industry thought industry training (USSEC supported technical support as well as industry supported presentations), presentations at scientific meetings as well as publications through a range of outlets (e.g., newsletters, trade journals and peer reviewed journals). Results have been presented in conjunction with USSEC technology support in Mexico, Ecuador and Peru. Results have been presented at technical meeting in the US including a training program sponsored by Skretting Ecuador and 37th Fish Feed and Nutrition Workshop. Additionally, one of my students was able to attend and present at the European Aquaculture Meeting.
