Background :
I have done my masters in fisheries resource management in 2010 during which I have worked on image analysis based stock identification protocols. Since 2012, I am working in CMFRI on Demersal fisheries related studies. I am working to understand fish biology and it population dynamics as well as resolving the management strategy for the sustainable exploitation of this resource. I am also involved in assessing the climate change impact on marine fisheries and its mitigation aspects. Presently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. on shark population biology study.
