Marc Metian
Ph.D., Oceanography & Marine Environment
2011-2013 Senior Research Fellow (Stockholm University)
Research Scientist, International Atomic Energy Agency
Marc Metian has a keen interest in aquaculture globally and future challenges associated with its development, particularly the debate about “competition between feed and food resources”. More specifically, he is looking at links between sustainable use of resources, food security and governance, particularly in light of projected substantial increased demand for seafood due to both population growth and per capita consumption.
