I take a multidisciplinary approach to fish molecular biology, aquaculture, and aquatic environmental science. My research focuses on phylogenetic analysis and molecular identification of fish using genetic markers to support taxonomy, conservation, and resource management. I also optimize fish nutrition through innovative feed formulations, probiotics, and biotechnology. Additionally, I study water quality impacts on fish health to improve aquaculture sustainability. My work integrates molecular tools, microbial applications, and environmental science to advance sustainable fisheries and aquaculture systems.
