Personal Profile
Biography
My research background is the combination of
fish biology and genetics with particular emphasis on aquatic biodiversity & conservation, population biology and genetic variation among different fish species. I
have also multidimensional research experience in diversified field such as
fish breeding, fish taxonomy & population genetics of endangered species,
fish reproductive biology, reducing off-flavor of fish flesh and fish meat gel
analysis. I did my PhD on microinjection-based cryopreservation of aquatic
animals from Population Genetics Laboratory at Tokyo University of Marine
Science and Technology, Tokyo, Japan and M.S. in Fisheries Biology and Genetics
and B.Sc. in Fisheries from Bangladesh Agricultural University. Moreover, I am
also expertise on aquatic organism’s culture, molecular analysis, and global
warming etc for restoration and conservation of endangered species.
