Biography

The broad area of my research interest is related to Fish Nutrition and Aquaculture studies, where I am mainly focusing on the establishment of dietary requirements for different fish species through various parameters like growth parameters, hemato-biochemical parameters, various enzymatic activities and by the expression of different genes.

Area of Interest:

Animal and Veterinary Sciences
Alternative Feeds
Animal Nutrition
Nutrigenetics
Fisheries Research
