Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

H. Fischer's research investigates the nutritional quality and conversion capabilities of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) when fed various waste streams, including spent coffee, donuts, and sweet potatoes. This work explores the potential of these larvae and their frass as resources for animal and plant farming. Fischer's studies also examine the effects of different dietary compositions on the growth, biochemical makeup, histopathology, and gene expression of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Additionally, research has assessed aquaponics systems supplemented with black soldier fly frass tea for its impact on plant production and composition. Fischer has published 39 papers with 643 citations and an h-index of 15. Key collaborators include Shaun Francis, Md. Shahidul Islam, and Nilima Renukdas, all from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
