About
Over 7-year progressive experience in data driven Aquaculture. Being a in BSc Fisheries and Aquaculture graduate, my initial journey was doing most of the field work and hands-on job like training and extension services. I also took time working in Ponds, hatchery, Lake fish handling and feeding sections.
This enabled me have a clear understanding of fish culture practices before joining Strategy and operations section, where I have been progressively working for the last 3 years. I believe that data driven Aquaculture is essential in making proactive and non-reactive decisions in Fish farming.
