After taking masters in Aquatic Environmental Management (AEM) from Central Institute of Fisheries Education (CIFE) [2011] I am working in CIBA since April, 2014 on aquaculture nutrition research. I currently work in division of Nutrition Genetics and Biotechnology in CIBA. I have worked on microalgae culture, nutrient profiling, crustacean larval nutrition, natural productivity and fish waste utilization. I have interests in finfish and shellfish larval nutrition, isolation and characterization of novel microalgae strains; nutraceutical properties of microalgae and utilization of fish waste as plankton booster.
- Nutraceutical properties of microalgae and its application in larval nutrition
- Isolation, characterization and nutritional profiling of microalgae from different ecosystems
- Development of plankton booster from fish waste and its application in aquaculture systems
