Can you tell me a bit about your background?

I hold a BSc in aquaculture from Alexandria University, where I’m currently doing my master's – specialising in fish production and welfare. I contributed to a scientific study on the breeding of red tilapia, a hybrid of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), in saline waters. The research focused on improving fry quality and survival rates and demonstrated the effectiveness of using nanocurcumin as a fertility enhancer, offering significant advances in breeding practices under varying salinity conditions.
 

What sort of farms have you worked on?

During my university studies, I gained experience working on open system farms in Kafr El-Sheikh and Beheira, where I learned the techniques of breeding and hatching tilapia in earthen ponds. After graduating, I spent a year in Kuwait establishing a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), utilising galvanized iron tanks with a production capacity of 50 tonnes per cycle. Currently, I serve as the technical manager for the tilapia farm at Mahar Trading Company, in Saudi Arabia.
