Situated on the beautiful campus of the University of Stirling, the Institute of Aquaculture is the leading international centre in its field and is the largest of its kind in the world. Graded 5 in the 2001 RAE, we bring together crossdisciplinary, world class researchers to meet the wide range of challenges faced as aquaculture grows to meet global demands. Research focuses on fundamental questions relating to strategies for sustainable aquaculture, whether in modern commercial markets or in feeding poor communities in developing countries. Fundamental research on environments, reproduction, genetics, aquatic health, nutrition and feed supplies, on production systems, on markets, and on social and economic impacts all play significant roles. We have grown steadily over the last 35 years to our present size of more than 110 staff and 120 postgraduate students.
