The project aims to address bottlenecks in the commercial culture of Amphiprion ocellaris by utilizing basic science techniques such as stress and digestive physiology, microbiome characterization, and transcriptomics. The goal is to gain a mechanistic understanding of culture bottlenecks and develop applied solutions for commercial producers. The project will also assess the economic impact of revised culture protocols and disseminate findings through publications, workshops, and extension literature.
