This short-term internship was undertaken at two Universities in Canada over 22 days, commencing 18 November, 2013. The first phase of the program was based at Laval University, Quebec and the second phase was based at The University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
The training at Laval University involved hands-on experience of preparation and analysing off-flavour compounds in fish-flesh. In addition, it covered the mandatory Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System course, visiting the Recirculated Aquaculture Facilities and becoming familiar with the state-of–the-art instrument for quantifying the off-flavour molecules.
Quantitative and careful analysis of taint molecules is critical to the testing of a predictive model for taint which can be used to assist the recirculated aquaculture system Barramundi farming industry in Australia. |
