Could this researcher have the key to US marine aquaculture?

It’s no secret that the relatively small US marine aquaculture industry often struggles with seemingly endless regulatory roadblocks and permitting challenges — but one American university researcher thinks she may have made a step in conquering the challenge.

Jesse Trushenski, associate professor of zoology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, is working on a project that she and fellow researchers from Virginia Tech University, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service hope will lead to the first-ever approval of a pharmaceutical tool for US marine aquaculture, according to the university.
