Role:Senior Scientist
Focus of Research:
Aquatic ecosystem health monitoring and hydrobiology
Artificial reefs for marine fisheries management
Marine debris and its impact
Water quality management in live feed, finfish breeding, seed production, cage and pond culture of finfishes

Background:

After working for a short span of time in shrimp farming industry, I have joined ICAR in 2009 and working in CMFRI since 2010 on Fisheries Environment Management. I have worked on Aquatic environment management for the past 11 years at its Regional Centre in Visakhapatnam. As a team member involved in research and development works covering the areas of monitoring the hydrobiology of coastal and marine environment and its assessment; pollution and litter in critical habitats, fishing grounds and recreational beaches; fabrication and deployment of artificial reefs for marine fisheries management; marine fisheries policy; and water quality requirements for mariculture.
