Research Interests
Artificial Breeding of Endangered Fish Species
A significant focus of my work involves developing and refining artificial propagation techniques for threatened and endangered fish species. Through this research, I aim to contribute to the conservation and restoration of declining fish populations, ensuring the preservation of genetic diversity and ecological balance in our aquatic ecosystems.
Reproductive Endocrinology
I am keenly interested in understanding the hormonal mechanisms that regulate fish reproduction. My work in reproductive endocrinology explores the physiological and biochemical pathways governing gonadal maturation, spawning behavior, and gamete quality. These insights are instrumental in optimizing induced breeding protocols and improving reproductive success in both endangered and commercially important fish species.
Feed Development for Larvae and Broodstock
Nutrition plays a pivotal role in successful aquaculture. My research in this area focuses on formulating cost-effective, nutritionally balanced diets tailored to the specific requirements of fish larvae and broodstock. By enhancing feed quality and feeding strategies, I strive to improve growth performance, survival rates, and reproductive output, ultimately supporting sustainable aquaculture practices.
Vision
Through my research, teaching, and mentorship, I aspire to contribute meaningfully to the sustainable management of fisheries resources, the conservation of endangered aquatic species, and the development of the next generation of scientists and practitioners in the field of genetics and fish breeding.
