Biography

Darragh Doyle's research explores factors affecting fish health and welfare, particularly from an aquaculture perspective. He is specifically interested in factors influencing skin barrier function, skin health, skin resilience, and wound healing. His work mainly involves Salmonid fish in collaboration with partners in Norway, focusing on husbandry-related factors that affect skin health in Atlantic salmon. Utilizing a variety of methods such as the Ussing chamber technique, histology, immunohistochemistry, and qPCR, he aims to address significant challenges in fish health. In addition, he is interested in meta-analytical methods and systematic literature reviews. Doyle is currently working on a Formas funded project to assess the effects of delousing methods on skin health, specifically evaluating the impact of infectious Winter ulcer disease. He is also affiliated with SWEMARC, the Swedish Mariculture Research Center, a collaborative initiative to enhance the sustainability of seafood farming through interdisciplinary research. Doyle is open to collaboration for developing thesis projects and encourages interested parties to get in touch.
