Hi, I am Quynh

Quynh Vo

PhD Candidate at Griffith University.

I am an aquaculture enthusiast with curiosity in the development of the aquaculture industry and their responsibility to the industry’s practice, especially the farming of Atlantic salmon. My research is focused on the development of a computer vision approach to monitor the welfare of farmed salmon in offshore aquaculture in Tasmania. I work with the industry partners in Tasmania to address their concerns about the welfare of farmed salmon offshore.
