Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Rebecca Lochmann's research focuses on aquaculture nutrition, particularly the development of sustainable fish feed and understanding the nutritional requirements of commercially important fish species. Her work investigates the impact of various dietary components on fish growth, physiology, and overall health.
Recent studies by Lochmann and her collaborators have examined the effects of different iron concentrations and forms in plant-based diets for channel catfish, investigating potential benefits for anemia prevention alongside impacts on liver and intestinal health. Other research explores the digestibility of conventional and novel dietary lipids in channel catfish and the replacement of fishmeal with commercial protein blends in hybrid striped bass diets, assessing growth, body composition, and nutrient retention. Her work also extends to the influence of feeding regimes on largemouth bass growth and fatty acid composition, especially under elevated water temperatures. Additionally, Lochmann's research has explored the production methods for okra in coupled aquaponic systems with Nile tilapia, evaluating their impact on growth and mineral composition.
Lochmann holds an h-index of 24 with 1,956 citations across 80 publications. She is recognized as an ARA Fellow and a highly cited researcher in the field of aquaculture. She actively maintains a laboratory website and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, including Grace Ramena and Michele Jones.

ARA Academy 2017 ARA Fellow
Dr. Lochmann's team investigates alternative dietary protein and lipid sources, prebiotics and probiotics, and other feed additives affecting growth, health, product quality, and reproductive performance in aquaculture species including baitfish, catfish, largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, and tilapia. Research includes cost-effectiveness assessments related to production profitability.
Policy Impact
Drives cost-effective aquaculture innovations that support Arkansas's position as a leading U.S. aquaculture producer, directly benefiting the state's farm economy.
