| Summary | Zobaer Masum obtained his MSc in Aquatic Resources Management in 2024 and BSc in Fisheries and Marine Science in 2022 from Noakhali Science and Technology University, Bangladesh, where he graduated. He is currently working as a Research Associate in the DANIDA-funded AQUAFOOD project focusing on climate-resilient aquatic food systems in Bangladesh. Previously, he served as a Research Assistant in the Sustainable Coastal and Marine Fisheries Project under the Department of Fisheries, Bangladesh, where he led hatchery operations for mud crab (Scylla olivacea) seed production and supervised aquaculture field activities. His research interests include sustainable aquaculture, climate change impacts on aquatic food systems, mud crab hatchery technology, marine pollution, and nutritional assessment of aquatic species. He has authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed publications in international journals and has experience in environmental contamination studies, aquaculture development, and statistical data analysis using R and GIS-based tools. |
