Dr. Honghao Zhao | Animal Nutrition | Best Researcher Award

Doctor at Tianjin Agricultural University | China

Dr. Honghao Zhao of Tianjin Agricultural University is an accomplished scientist whose innovative research in aquaculture nutrition and fish physiology positions her as a leading candidate for the Best Researcher Award. Her investigations center on developing sustainable feed alternatives to traditional fishmeal by utilizing black soldier fly larvae and incorporating functional bioactive compounds like bile acids and herbal extracts to improve fish health, immunity, and flesh quality. Through the integration of advanced multi-omics technologies, she deciphers the molecular mechanisms underlying nutritional regulation, growth performance, and disease resistance in species such as largemouth bass and half-smooth tongue sole. Dr. Zhao has led multiple high-impact research projects as Principal Investigator and contributed to the advancement of sustainable aquaculture systems with global relevance. Her impressive academic record includes 17 research documents, 449 citations, and an h-index of 10 in the Scopus database, highlighting her strong scientific influence and productivity. With numerous publications in reputed international journals like Aquaculture, Frontiers in Physiology, and GigaScience, her research bridges molecular biology and practical aquaculture applications, promoting ecological sustainability and technological progress in the aquaculture sector.
