Alternatives to Antibiotics for Sustainable Aquaculture

Dr. Baskaralingam Vaseeharan is Professor and Department Head of Animal Health and Management at Alagappa University in Karaikudi, India. He obtained his PhD in Zoology at University of Madras and his DSc in Zoology at Periyar University, India. Dr. Vaseeharan’s lab study focuses on aquatic animal health biotechnology, crustacean molecular biology and genomics, molecular biology and immunology, and nanoscience and technology. His current research focuses on improving stress tolerance and disease resistance in aquatic animals to promote high yield in aquaculture and protect aquatic environments from toxic pollutants.Dr. Saengchan Senapin is Senior Researcher at the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, and Principal Investigator at Centex Shrimp within Mahidol University, Thailand. She obtained her MSc in Biochemistry at Mahidol University and her PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Australian National University. Dr. Senapin brings more than 20 years of experience in aquatic animal health, and her research focuses on disease diagnosis of fish and shrimp, host-pathogen interactions, immunology, and vaccine development. Dr. Ha Thanh Dong is Assistant Professor at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand. He obtained his MSc and PhD in Veterinary Pathobiology at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. Dr. Dong has been internationally recognized for his contributions to emerging infectious diseases in tropical aquaculture, disease diagnostics, host-pathogen interactions, fish vaccine development, non-antibiotic approaches, and nanobubble technology. His current research focuses on applications of nanobubble technologies in enhancing efficacy of immersion vaccination in aquaculture.
