Roger Doyle is a world renowned aquaculture geneticist with 40 years of research, development and commercial experience in tilapia, salmon, carp, and shrimp genetics.

Roger earned his MSc and PhD degrees in Biology from Yale University and his MSc degree in Oceanography and BSc degrees in Biology and Chemistry from Dalhousie University in Canada. For 10 years, Roger was engaged as an aquaculture genetics consultant for one of the world's largest salmon aquaculture companies, where he designed their Canadian salmon family breeding and selection program, built-up their genetics database, and interpreted microsatellite family identification results.

Several years ago, Roger performed due diligence in connection with the purchase of a large and successful aquaculture genetics organization. In 1997, 1999, and 2005, Roger was a technical advisor on genetic conservation in Salmonids for the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service.

Since 1999, Roger has also performed genetic conservation work in Salmonids for Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans. He also formally reviewed and subsequently redesigned the shrimp genetics program at the Oceanic Institute in Hawaii during a multi-year consultancy in the early 2000s. He is currently consulting on breeding and quantitative genetic aspects of the shrimp breeding program for one of the largest shrimp producers in Asia. He is also currently responsible for aquaculture genetics programs for other producers in the Middle East and the Americas. Dr. Doyle is also extremely active in tilapia genetics for multiple clients around the world. He is the former President of the International Association for Aquaculture Genetics and former Coordinator of the Aquaculture Genetics Network in Asia (IDRC).

Dr. Doyle is a retired Professor of Biology and Founding Director of the Marine Gene Probe Laboratory at Dalhousie University in Canada. From 1980-1984, Dr. Doyle was an aquaculture genetics Lecturer at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. He has approximately 100 publications in theoretical and applied genetics to his credit, including his co-editor role in the important 1996 publication entitled Genetics in Aquaculture V.
