Naiyas Neson, a final-year student at Papua New Guinea’s University of Natural Resources and Environment, will take his research to a major regional conservation gathering in Nouméa, New Caledonia.

Neson, who studies for a Bachelor of Sustainable Fisheries and Marine Resources, has been selected to present at the 11th Pacific Islands Conference on Nature Conservation and Protected Areas. The conference runs from September 7 to 11.

His project examines the growth performance of Nile tilapia fingerlings fed with a formulated peanut-based feed, compared with fingerlings given commercial feed. Neson developed the low-cost peanut-based formula himself and is testing whether it can provide a viable alternative to commercial products.

The research will be presented to conservation leaders and researchers from across the region, giving the PNG UNRE student a platform to share work focused on practical and affordable fish-feed options.
