Marc C.J. Verdegem

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Agriculture
• Aquaculture

His primary areas of study are Aquaculture, Periphyton, Animal science, Botany and Ecology. He interconnects Environmental engineering, Water use, Fishery, Plankton and Sustainability in the investigation of issues within Aquaculture. He has included themes like Dry matter, Bamboo and Substrate in his Periphyton study.

His work carried out in the field of Animal science brings together such families of science as Polyculture and Labeo. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Shrimp, Penaeus monodon, Water column, Fish farming and Nutrient. He usually deals with Ecology and limits it to topics linked to Stocking and Soleá.

His most cited work include:

• New developments in recirculating aquaculture systems in Europe: A perspective on environmental sustainability (445 citations)
• The potential of fish production based on periphyton (150 citations)
• Scenarios for Resilient Shrimp Aquaculture in Tropical Coastal Areas (144 citations)

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

Aquaculture, Fishery, Animal science, Periphyton and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Productivity, Agronomy, Agriculture and Nutrient as well as Aquaculture. His Fishery research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fish farming, Shrimp farming and Polyculture.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Tilapia, Botany and Zooplankton in addition to Animal science. His work deals with themes such as Gut flora and Nile tilapia, Oreochromis, which intersect with Tilapia. The various areas that Marc C.J. Verdegem examines in his Periphyton study include Macrobrachium rosenbergii, Prawn, Dry matter, Water quality and Plankton.

He most often published in these fields:

• Aquaculture (39.61%)
• Fishery (31.88%)
• Animal science (28.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

• Aquaculture (39.61%)
• Nile tilapia (13.53%)
• Food science (9.18%)

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

Marc C.J. Verdegem mostly deals with Aquaculture, Nile tilapia, Food science, Animal science and Nutrient. His Aquaculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecology, Polychaete and Fishery. His studies in Fishery integrate themes in fields like Amazon rainforest and Nutrient density.

His Nile tilapia research incorporates themes from Fish farming, Dietary protein and Tilapia. His Animal science research integrates issues from Carbohydrate, Polysaccharide, Biomass, Feed conversion ratio and Ingredient. His Nutrient research includes elements of Benthic zone, Ecosystem, Bile acid and Mussel.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Managing the Microbial Community of Marine Fish Larvae: A Holistic Perspective for Larviculture. (24 citations)
• The effect of phytase, xylanase and their combination on growth performance and nutrient utilization in Nile tilapia (23 citations)
• Effect of dietary protein to energy ratio on performance of nile tilapia and food web enhancement in semi-intensive pond aquaculture (16 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Agriculture
• Ecosystem

Marc C.J. Verdegem mainly investigates Nile tilapia, Aquaculture, Food science, Animal science and Tilapia. His Nile tilapia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fishery and Amazon rainforest. His Aquaculture study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Larva, Resistance, Species richness and Nutrient.

His work on Eutrophication, Agriculture and Metamorphosis as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Microbial population biology, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Food science study incorporates themes from Commercial fish feed and Polysaccharide. His Animal science research incorporates elements of Biomass and Food web.
