Dr. Mashooq Ali is a fisheries and aquaculture researcher specializing in molecular biology, nutrigenomics, and climate-resilient aquatic systems, with a focus on how nutrition influences early development, physiology, and stress response in key aquaculture species. His work integrates gene expression analysis, multi-omics approaches, microbiome profiling, and computational ecological modeling to understand growth pathways, antioxidant regulation, and myogenesis, contributing to improved feed formulations and sustainable hatchery practices. Proficient in molecular techniques, bioinformatics, and statistical modeling, he has published impactful studies on nano-selenium–mediated stress reduction in trout, protein optimization in larval diets, and diet-driven regulation of GH–IGF and myogenic factors in carp. His research advances the development of climate-adaptive aquaculture systems, and he actively contributes to scientific review, collaborative research networks, and the broader progress of molecular aquaculture science. He is also engaged in nurturing future researchers through training, scientific communication, and participation in professional events. His work supports innovations in hatchery efficiency, nutrigenetic insights, and sustainable resource use. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, he continues to bridge molecular biology with applied aquaculture solutions, strengthening the scientific foundation for resilient aquatic food systems.
