Location:
A research opportunity is currently available with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), located in Bozeman, Montana. Research Project:
This project involves conducting research in Aquatic Animal Nutrition through the USDA-ARS Aberdeen Small Grains and Potato Research Station. The fellowship will be located at the Bozeman Fish Technology Center in Bozeman, Montana. In this fellowship, you will gain experience in aquatic biology, focusing on fish nutrition and feed manufacturing. You will help analyze the nutritional requirements of various aquatic species, learn how to develop and formulate specialized feeds to meet the nutritional needs of these species, and conduct trials to determine the effectiveness of formulated feeds.
You will collaborate with the hatchery, feed mill, and analytical laboratory managers to manufacture and analyze feeds, monitor and assess the growth, proximate composition, and health of the aquatic species. You will analyze research records and create detailed reports on feed formulation and fish growth performance.
Under the guidance of a mentor, you will:
- Learn to conduct research in aquatic animal nutrition through collaboration with the USDA-ARS Aberdeen Small Grains and Potato Research Station and the Bozeman Fish Technology Center.
- Gain experience in aquatic biology, with emphasis on fish nutrition and feed manufacturing.
- Develop skills in analyzing the nutritional requirements of various aquatic species.
- Learn to formulate and manufacture specialized feeds designed to meet species-specific nutritional needs.
- Conduct feeding trials to evaluate the effectiveness of formulated feeds on growth and health performance.
- Collaborate with hatchery, feed mill, and analytical laboratory managers to manufacture, analyze, and assess feed quality.
- Gain experience by monitoring and evaluating fish growth, proximate composition, and overall health in response to dietary treatments.
- Gain experience by analyzing research data and preparing detailed reports on feed formulation strategies and fish growth performance outcomes.
