Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

H. Fischer's research focuses on the conversion of waste materials into valuable resources, particularly through the use of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens). Publications investigate the effectiveness of these larvae in processing spent coffee, donuts, sweet potato, and dough, and their potential as feed for largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Studies also examine the impact of different larval diets on their nutritional quality and the resulting frass, as well as the effects of microplastics on larval development and short-chain fatty acids. Fischer's work extends to aquaculture systems, comparing recirculating aquaculture and aquaponics for largemouth bass production and evaluating the use of black soldier fly frass tea to enhance plant growth. Collaborations include work with Shaun Francis, Nilima Renukdas, Uttam Deb, and John B. Howe, all from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. Fischer's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 14, 39 total publications, and 616 total citations.
