New UPEI Research Blog Post: The economics of aquaculture
When Dr. Ian Gardner took up the position as the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Aquatic Epidemiology http://www.cerc.gc.ca/chairholders-titulaires/gardner-eng.shtml, he knew he was joining an already strong team of researchers at UPEI’s Atlantic Veterinary College. “Truly, that was part of the appeal for me,” says Dr. Gardner. “The expertise here in fish health and veterinary epidemiology is second to none in the world.” That’s why Dr. Gardner likes to refer to the group around him as the CERC team: a group of researchers—each a leader in her or his specific area. “One area I thought the CERC team could expand to was economics,” says Dr. Gardner. “That’s why I am pleased to say we’ve acquired just that expertise in Dr. Kehar Singh.” Read the rest of the story at: http://research.upei.ca/blogs/2013/07/04/economics-aquaculture
