Elisabeth Jönsson Bergman is a Professor at the University of Gothenburg, leading a research group focused on the endocrine regulation of appetite, growth, and health in fish. Her research primarily aims to understand the fundamental biological processes that determine how animals allocate and mobilize energy reserves. A significant aspect of her work revolves around growth hormones and factors such as insulin-like growth factor and ghrelin, exploring their neuroendocrine mechanisms. This research addresses pressing questions relevant to the aquaculture industry, particularly in optimizing feed compositions for improving growth performance in farmed fish. Her group is currently involved in several projects, including a Nordic collaboration aimed at sustainable feed practices and the biological effects of vaccination in rainbow trout. She is also a member of the Fish Endocrinology Laboratory and the transdisciplinary marine aquaculture research center SWEMARC. In addition to her research activities, she contributes to the academic community through teaching, animal care, and outreach initiatives.
Administered by the Department of Political Science; focus on International Administration and Global Governance (IAGG).
