ATSE 2016 New Fellow: Abigail Elizur FTSE

Professor Elizur has applied advanced science and technology to the aquaculture industry to secure sustainable production and tackle the issues surrounding reproduction in captivity, which is a major bottleneck in the domestication of aquaculture species. She has been involved in varied projects – from spawning the southern bluefin tuna, a world first for this endangered species, to controlled spawning of the pearl oyster enabling precise management of mating, a key to implementation of genetic programs.
