Georgia Macaulay

Georgia Macaulay is a Research Associate at The University of Sydney, School of Life and Environmental Sciences. Her research interests include marine and estuarine ecology, aquaculture, freshwater ecology, fish pests and diseases, and animal behaviour. She has worked on projects related to sustainable aquaculture, fish welfare, and aquatic disease risk. Georgia's current work involves investigating the impact of climate change on disease risk in Australian aquaculture industries. She has previously held positions at the University of Melbourne, The Department of Primary Industries and Regions South Australia, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

Georgia Macaulay is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Sydney, specializing in fish behaviour, aquaculture, and aquatic ecology. Her research explores the biological challenges and opportunities in submerged cage aquaculture, focusing on fish behaviour to enhance production and welfare in industrial aquaculture. She investigates the impact of environmental factors on fish feeding and survival, such as cold water reluctance and summer mortality in abalone. Her work also addresses technological and biological considerations in hydroacoustic feeding control and the use of tagging methods for monitoring fish behaviour. Macaulay's research aims to balance aquaculture productivity with environmental sustainability and animal welfare.
