“I am truly happy that Brett Glencross has decided to join us to contribute to the marine ingredients industry’s science-based approach. Brett is a very experienced aquaculture professional and has an excellent track record in managing research programs. He has a highly acknowledged profile in the aquaculture industry, with a research background spanning the application of functional feeds for animal health, refining nutritional requirements and the use of nutritional modeling strategies, as well as a strong background in raw material assessment. We are very much looking forward to having Brett on board,” said IFFO’s director general Petter Johannessen.

“I am delighted to be offered this opportunity to join the team at IFFO at a time when science is crucial to understanding the future trends affecting the development of fish feed ingredients. Technical projects led by IFFO contribute a great deal to increasing our knowledge on marine ingredients and driving change for the benefit of the whole value chain, and especially the aquaculture sector,” Glencross said.
