Kevin Stuart studies factors that affect the reproduction, growth and health of marine finfish in an aquaculture setting. His research focuses on all topics related to fish production for either stock enhancement or human consumption. These topics include: egg quality, broodstock nutrition, larval nutrition, larval culture, juvenile nutrition and juvenile grow out.
Stuart has been in the aquaculture field since receiving his master’s degree from Clemson University in 2000. Over the years he has worked with multiple marine species both on the east and the west coast. Stuart became involved with HSWRI in 2003 as research technician. In 2009, he began to help direct research at the San Diego laboratory on California yellowtail (Seriola dorsalis), California halibut (Paralichthys californicus), and white seabass (Atractoscion nobilis).
