Fisheries Resource Management, National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources (ICAR)

Skills: Climate change, Culture-based fisheries, Hatchery and nursery, Environment and sustainability

Experience

My research interests include exploration of ecology and fisheries in rivers, wetlands and reservoirs, including fish diversity and alien species. I am interested in impact assessment of river-linking and environmental flow issues, sustainable enhancement of fish production in wetlands, Himalayan aquatic ecosystems and fisheries and climate change. I also hold interests in the domestication and breeding of Himalayan fish species, the farming and breeding of rainbow trout, and the extension of fish farming in the Himalayan region.

Projects

Assessment of fish and fisheries of the Ganga river system for developing suitable conservation and restoration plan.
Risk and benefit assessment modelling for exotic fishes.
Exploration and assessment of fish diversity of Mid-Himalayan tributaries and wetlands of Ganga river system.
