| Research Interests:
Being a fisheries scientist, my target is always to help reduce and/ensure the risk-free health of localized humans through research in ensuring a healthy aquatic ecosystem. Nature and sources of aquatic ecosystem pollution vary area-wise. Therefore heavy metal pollution is one of my areas of interest. Being a biological and chemical oceanographer I love to explore microalgal roles in the remediation of coastal water benthic ecosystems. Heavy metal pollution I am also interested in evaluating the aquatic ecosystem's structure and functions using stable isotopes. Primary productions in pelagic and benthic ecosystems vary always with environmental parameters that boost me always to explore appropriate measurement methods (13C, 14C, O18, and others) that ultimately yield total fish production as well as to find strategies for ecosystem scaling. I am fond of developing alternative live feed for shrimp and/fish production. As always diatom frustules signal long-term environmental changes, I am keen to work on sediment dating (210Pb, 214Pb, 137Cs) along with the changes of diatom frustules. Fish Food and feeding ecology is also my concerned area of research. |

As a Researcher at National Institute of Advanced Industries Science and Technology (AIST), Japan: Marine pollution is tightly linked with urbanizations. Iron is produced in accordance with increased population’s demand. Slag (13 million ton per year in Japan), the by-product, has been largely used recently as a road making material or filling material instead of dumping. But no attempts have been taken to apply slag as remediation materials for aquatic environmental pollution. Slag materials which can release inorganic nutrients may provide suitable substrate for the growth of benthic microalgae which ultimately influence higher trophic animals feeding on them. Therefore, my researches involved finding scientific ways for the remediation of coastal water pollution. I targeted the benthic microalgae and reuse of iron making slag for the development of a polluted seaport (Osaka and Kobe sea port, Japan) restoration technology using 13C and 15N stable isotope. There have been a large number of studies that use diatom in marine sediments to infer past environmental changes in different regions. A number of paleo-environmental studies have associated changes in diatom concentrations or diatom compositional shifts with changes in environmental changes (nutrient enrichment, temperature and habitat preference). However, long records of such environmental variability that may entail the future management strategies through ecosystem functioning are lacking in most regions particularly in the Osaka Bay known as one of the most polluted areas in Japan. Therefore, I carried out intensive research on fossil planktonic assemblages and ecosystem shift; A-50 year record of the Seaport area of the Seto Inland Sea, Japan to predict the future management strategies for the policy makers. In addition to the above researches, I was involved in other professional activities also. As a Research Assistant in ICLARM (now world Fish Center) Analyze social & economic benefits to the application of integrated fish/rice culture technology, Analyses how rural women contribute to the small scale fisheries in improving their livelihood, Evaluation of technical manual prepared for the improvement of small scale fisheries practices in Bangladesh through partner organizations (18 nongovernmental organizations (NGO's in 18 districts), Monitoring and evaluation of how NGO's practice and get involve target groups (fish farmers) in aquaculture sectors, Develop concerned questionnaires, Analyses of field data using statistical software’s, Conduct baseline survey, Conduction and evaluation of NGOs’ staff training (technical). Technical Report writing. |
