What inspired you to pursue a career in aquaculture?

Although my studies were not initially focused on aquaculture, my deep fascination with the natural beauty of lakes and fisheries ignited within me a passion for this field. Driven by Iraqis' appreciation for fish as a divine gift, I was encouraged to pursue education and training domestically and abroad, including in Saudi Arabia and Iran. These diverse experiences have greatly enriched my understanding of, and proficiency in, fish farming practices, leading me to be dedicated to developing the industry in Iraq.
