Dr. Hyunwoon Lim | Animal feed | Best Researcher Award

Assistant manager | Daesang Corporation | South Korea

Hyunwoon Lim is a researcher in marine life science with a strong academic background in aquaculture nutrition, fishmeal replacement strategies, and dietary formulation for economically important aquaculture species. His work primarily focuses on improving the sustainability of aquaculture production by investigating alternative protein sources and optimizing nutrient requirements in species such as Pacific white shrimp and olive flounder. He has conducted extensive research on insect meals, animal byproducts, and plant protein sources as substitutes for traditional fishmeal, with the goal of developing cost-effective and environmentally sustainable feeds. His master’s research explored the use of insect-based proteins in juvenile olive flounder diets, while his doctoral research examines the dietary vitamin K requirements of Pacific white shrimp at different growth stages. He has contributed to multiple peer-reviewed publications in international journals, with seven published documents that have been cited 38 times by 36 different sources, reflecting the growing impact of his research. He has presented his findings at prominent conferences, earning recognition through awards for both oral and poster presentations. His academic achievements are complemented by participation in numerous national and international research projects in collaboration with universities, research institutes, and industry partners. These projects span topics such as nutritional standardization, on-site application of formulated feeds, marine microbiome utilization, and evaluation of commercial dietary additives. His research reflects a commitment to advancing aquaculture sustainability through innovative nutritional strategies and practical feed applications. By integrating fundamental nutritional science with applied feed development, he contributes to both academic advancement and industry innovation in marine aquaculture.
