Aquaculture
Publications in Google Scholar
“Fish perform all their bodily functions in water.
Because fish are totally dependent upon water to breathe,
feed and grow, excrete wastes, maintain a salt balance and reproduce,
understanding and controlling the quality of water is critical to successful aquaculture.
To a great extent, water determines the success or failure of an aquaculture operation”
Research Interests:
