Description: Oxidative stress is an emerging field of study in physiology of aquatic species. At present, major problem in aquaculture industry is the shortage of dietary ingredients such as protein and lipid. Alternative dietary ingredients potentially altering growth and intermediary metabolism may therefore be expected to affect the oxidative homoeostasis in fish and crustaceans. The underlying mechanism involved between dietary protein and oxidative status of crustaceans are rarely investigated. Currently, We are looking for a Ph.D. Candidate to work on oxidative responsiveness of Malaysian prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii under Fundamental Research Grant Scheme I 2014 – 2015. The successful applicant will investigate the effect of dietary protein concentrations and quality on the oxidative responsiveness of M. rosenbergii. The graduate research assistantship will be available for three (3) years. For more information, it is highly advisable to contact with the PI Dr. Md.
