Guys is this normal? I get grossed out with the thought of humans farming fish… wild seems like nature did the work for us and as such its natural

Hello friends. I am a research scholar with aquaculture as my major domain. Are there any aquaculture researchers here so we can discuss the research, collaborate, etc?

Is having an aquarium a dated fad? I feel like I don’t see them in people’s homes or apartments as much as I did.

I've noticed that a lot of aquarium foods advertise "high protein" as if it's automatically better.

But different fish have different nutritional needs.

For example:

Herbivores generally need lower protein.

Carnivores naturally require much higher levels.

Do you pay attention to protein percentages when buying fish food, or do you mostly stick with trusted brands?

I'd love to hear what experienced hobbyists look for.

am interested in pursuing a PhD in aquaculture. My main area of interest is the valorization of aquaculture products.

During my bachelor’s degree, I worked on a microalgae species rich in beta-carotene , which sparked my interest in high-value compounds from aquatic resources. I then completed a master’s degree in Food Engineering to deepen my knowledge in the processing and valorization of such products.

I would greatly appreciate your suggestions on potential PhD topics, as well as your perspective on current interesting or emerging research trends in this field.

Thank you in advance for your guidance.
