Education 🎓

Yang Liu completed his Bachelor's Degree in Aquaculture at Tianjin Agricultural University in China, between 2011 and 2015. This foundation in agricultural sciences paved the way for his advanced studies in the field of aquaculture. He went on to earn his PhD from the Ocean University of China from 2015 to 2020. During his doctoral studies, Yang specialized in aquaculture, genetics, and fish physiology, focusing on understanding the genetic and physiological mechanisms behind fish growth, environmental adaptation, and skin color formation. His work contributed to advancing knowledge in aquaculture practices and the genetic management of marine species, making a significant impact in the field.

Experience 🧑‍🔬

Yang Liu began his postdoctoral research at the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute, part of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, in 2020. During his postdoc tenure (2020-2022), he focused on advancing research in aquaculture genetics, fish physiology, and environmental adaptation in marine species. His research contributed significantly to understanding the genetic mechanisms that govern traits such as growth rates and environmental resilience in aquatic organisms. Since 2020, he has continued his work at the institute as an Assistant Research Fellow, where he leads various projects in aquaculture, emphasizing genetic improvement and functional genomics in marine species. His contributions to the field have solidified his position as a key researcher at the institute.

Research Interests 🔬

Genetic Mechanisms & DNA Methylation 🧬
A significant part of Yang's research explores DNA methylation and how it influences various biological processes. His studies on lipid metabolism and the antioxidant pathway in species like the Plectropomus leopardus (a type of grouper) reveal how these genetic factors play a role in skin color formation. This research has practical applications in improving fish aesthetics and marketability.

Lipid Metabolism & Hybrid Fish Heterosis 🐟
Yang's research also investigates the role of lipid metabolism in promoting heterosis (hybrid vigor) in Jinhu grouper. His findings provide valuable knowledge on how lipid pathways contribute to the enhanced performance of hybrid fish species, aiding in the development of more resilient and higher-yielding aquaculture species.

Genetic Mapping for Growth Traits 📊
Yang is also engaged in genetic mapping and QTL (quantitative trait loci) mapping, focusing on identifying the genetic basis of growth-related traits in hybrid fish species such as the Yunlong grouper. His work in this area provides foundational data to optimize breeding programs for faster-growing and more robust fish.

Salinity Regulation in Marine Life 🌊
Another aspect of Yang's research includes understanding how fish adapt to changing environmental conditions, particularly salinity regulation in species like spotted sea bass. Through his work on the Na+/H+ exchanger gene family, Yang aims to uncover the genetic mechanisms behind fish's ability to withstand salinity fluctuations, which has significant implications for marine aquaculture in different environmental conditions.
