Professor Douglas Tocher and Dr. Oscar Monroig from Stirling University Attend the Ocean Forum 

       On the afternoon of April 12, 2017, Prof. Douglas Tocher from the University of Stirling and Dr. Oscar Monroig went to Ocean University for academic reports. The report will be chaired by Professor Li Yuanyou, Professor Peng Qing. Some of the teachers, graduate students and undergraduates of Ocean University attended the report.

       Prof. Douglas Tocher presented the elaboration of the academic role of Early Nutrition Strategies to Improve Atlantic Salmon Utilization of Sustainable Feedstuffs, introducing the development prospects of using fish feed instead of fishmeal feed and improving the utilization of plant feed.

       Dr. Oscar Monroig describes the molecular regulation mechanisms of fatty acid metabolism, especially long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, and metabolism, around the academic topic Two DHA biosynthetic pathways are common in bony fish.

       Prof. Douglas Tocher and Dr. Oscar Monroig have a great deal of inspiration and assistance in the development of scientific research and the development of an international perspective. Prof. Douglas Tocher and Dr. Oscar Monroig have answered my questions. Teachers and students are currently concerned about the hot research and cutting-edge issues.

       Professor Douglas Tocher is Professor and PhD supervisor of the Institute of Fisheries Research at the Natural Sciences Institute of Stirling University. The main research direction is fish lipid / fatty acid metabolism, especially long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) synthesis and Metabolic molecular regulation mechanism. Dr. Oscar Monroig is a lecturer at the Stirling University Fisheries Research Institute, where he focuses on lipid nutrition and metabolic regulation for aquatic animals.
