Technical Committee

Dr. Jeffrey M. Lotz
Education:
 
  • Ph.D. Degree - Louisiana State University, 1979. Zoology.
    B.S. Degree - University of Minnesota, 1972. Zoology.
Positions and Experience:
 
  • Professor - Department of Coastal Sciences, Ecology and Epidemiology of Parasites and Pathogens, Marine Aquaculture
Additional Info
 
  • .My research group's primary interests are in the ecology and epidemiology of parasites and pathogens of marine organisms, marine aquaculture, and marine stock enhancement.
  • Our funded marine aquaculture research is on shrimp (primarily Litopenaeus vannamei) and red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus). Our goals are to develop and refine low-water-use, low-discharge technology to support the development of a U.S. marine shrimp culture industry
