After taking PhD in Fish Processing Technology in 1995, I worked for 4 years in the ICAR Research complex for NEH region at Barapani before joining CMFRI in 2001 in the Pathology and Nutrition Division. I developed formulated feed for spiny lobsters and carried out pathological studies in spiny and sand lobster culture systems at Kovalam Field laboratory. Presently I am in the Pelagic Fisheries division. I am currently working on biology of pelagic fish resources including small and large pelagic resources.
