Research interests:
Research and development of intensive fish culture systems, integrated systems and recirculating systems, with focus on bio-engineering and economic aspects. Emphasis on low-head and air driven recirculating system, modeling of energy and heat budget, environmental and sustainability considerations in aquaculture development.
