Dr. Vivi Koletsi is part of the Mycotoxin Management team at Alltech, where she provides technical support related to Alltech’s nutritional technologies for aquatic animal species.

Dr. Koletsi first became interested in aquaculture while completing her undergraduate studies in biology. She began focusing on fish nutrition in earnest while pursuing her master’s degree, which led her to complete an internship with Alltech Coppens. During her internship there, she established a protocol to help prevent mycotoxin contamination in aquafeeds.

Upon earning her master’s degree, Dr. Koletsi continued her mycotoxin research at the doctoral level with support from Alltech in collaboration with the Aquaculture and Fisheries Group at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. While completing her doctoral studies, Dr. Koletsi conducted trials at Alltech Coppens’ facilities and laboratory work at Wageningen University.

A native of Ioannina, Greece, Dr. Koletsi holds a bachelor’s degree in biology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, as well as a master’s degree in aquaculture and marine resource management and a doctoral degree from Wageningen University & Research.
