David Santiago Valero

Animal Science student specialized in aquaculture, seeking internship opportunities across any area of aquaculture science. My academic background covers a broad range of animal production areas, including genetics, nutrition, reproduction, and environmental management. I am eager to translate this knowledge into practical experience within aquaculture farms, laboratories, or research institutions.

Currently, I have hands-on experience working with tilapia and native Colombian ornamental fish in aquaponic systems, as well as applied genetics research in a laboratory setting. My background is primarily in freshwater species; however, I am eager to expand into hatchery management, grow-out operations, and genetics of both freshwater and marine species.

I am particularly interested in working with shrimp, salmon, rainbow trout, and ornamental fish production, as well as working in public and private aquarium environments, both marine and freshwater.

I appreciate the help and any recommendation,
