Rachel Strassburger

I am a Research and Development and Quality Assurance Assistant at Taplow Ventures Ltd., working alongside a team that produces feed for salmon farms along the BC Coast. I am currently involved in quality assurance for feed production, as well as research focusing on factors affecting welfare and production losses on salmon farms. I am a recent graduate from the University of Guelph with an MSc in Animal Science and numerous years of experience in various animal production systems, research facilities, and medical facilities. I am new to aquaculture but have a strong background in animal nutrition, welfare, physiology, and production systems. I am passionate about sustainability and animal welfare and have always loved being close to the water. I look forward to working with and learning from producers, researchers, and other aquaculture professionals as I integrate into the industry!
