Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Enzyme
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of investigation include Animal science, Aquaculture, Clarias gariepinus, Catfish and Fishery. His research in Animal science intersects with topics in Fish meal, Fish farming, Salmo, Common carp and Aquatic animal. In the subject of general Aquaculture, his work in Recirculating aquaculture system is often linked to Water flow, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

He interconnects Ecology, Larva, Vitamin and Protein efficiency ratio in the investigation of issues within Clarias gariepinus. His work deals with themes such as Endocrinology, Food science, Juvenile, photoperiodism and Feed conversion ratio, which intersect with Catfish. The Fishery study combines topics in areas such as Energy reserves and Tilapia.

His most cited work include:

  • New developments in recirculating aquaculture systems in Europe: A perspective on environmental sustainability (445 citations)
  • Soybean meal induces intestinal inflammation in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). (190 citations)
  • Analysis of nutrient flows in integrated intensive aquaculture systems (171 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Animal science, Aquaculture, Fishery, Catfish and Clarias gariepinus. His biological study deals with issues like Nile tilapia, which deal with fields such as Food science. His research integrates issues of Ecology, Agriculture, Nutrient, Cyprinus and Aquatic animal in his study of Aquaculture.

His Coral study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Galaxea fascicularis. The concepts of his Fishery study are interwoven with issues in Common carp and Polyculture. His Clarias gariepinus research focuses on subjects like Larva, which are linked to Zoology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (32.87%)
  • Aquaculture (25.26%)
  • Fishery (24.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Animal science (32.87%)
  • Fishery (24.57%)
  • Nile tilapia (12.46%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Johan A.J. Verreth spends much of his time researching Animal science, Fishery, Nile tilapia, Aquaculture and Common sole. Johan A.J. Verreth has included themes like Biochemistry, Carbohydrate, Blood plasma, Biomass and Feed conversion ratio in his Animal science study. His study looks at the relationship between Feed conversion ratio and topics such as Catfish, which overlap with Food science, Feces and Nutrient digestibility.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Rabbitfish, Siganus canaliculatus, Bioconcentration and Lipid content in addition to Fishery. His Nile tilapia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fish farming, Tilapia, Distillers grains and Fish meal. In general Aquaculture, his work in Recirculating aquaculture system is often linked to Net present value linking many areas of study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nutrient mineralization and organic matter reduction performance of RAS-based sludge in sequential UASB-EGSB reactors (32 citations)
  • The effect of type of carbohydrate (starch vs. nonstarch polysaccharides) on nutrients digestibility, energy retention and maintenance requirements in Nile tilapia (31 citations)
  • Probiotic legacy effects on gut microbial assembly in tilapia larvae (25 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Enzyme
  • Agriculture

Johan A.J. Verreth mainly investigates Nile tilapia, Animal science, Aquaculture, Pangasius and Agriculture. The various areas that Johan A.J. Verreth examines in his Nile tilapia study include Lamina propria, Ecology, Tilapia and Fish meal. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Blue mussel, Biochemistry, Common carp, Carp and Nutrient.

His Nutrient study which covers Soleá that intersects with Fishery. His studies deal with areas such as Hormone, Endocrinology and Plant protein as well as Aquaculture. His Agriculture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Access to finance and Sustainability.
