Professor
Serge Doroshov was honored to receive this year's World
Aquaculture Society Honorary Life Membership award, given annually
to an individual who is internationally recognized as having made
outstanding contributions to the field of aquaculture. Serge did
some of the earliest work and continues to excel in fin fish
reproductive biology. He has contributed to the development of
sustainable commercial scale aquaculture of eight fish species,
especially striped bass, grass carp, sturgeon and paddlefish, and
has published at least 81 critically reviewed articles. He has been
responsible for training more than 600 students in production
aquaculture and reproduction biology of aquaculture species and has
facilitated the education of aquaculturists and aquaculture
researchers from Spain, Colombia, China, Philippines, Korea and the
United States. |

aquaculture development and now work in the aquaculture industry,

Serge
joined the department in 1977 and was director of its Aquaculture
and Fisheries Program from 1995 through 1998, the year in which he
received the Distinguished Service Award from the California
Aquaculture Association.
Serge was recognized partly because
he had the vision to see opportunity in the area of aquaculture
development and also the talent and dedication to see that vision
come to fruition, and he has been effective at inspiring others with
that vision. A native of Moscow, Serge has worked in the field of
aquaculture since 1962, has visited and collaborated with
aquaculturists in Europe, Asia and North America. |
