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:

  1. Aquatic microbiology
  2. Biological transformation of N, P, C and S in aquatic systems
  3. Water quality control in fish culture systems
