Field of specialization: My work is concerning on assessment the fisheries status of the different areas and creates scientific advices and recommendations to the decision makers to improve the exploitation status of these areas (including fish samples collection, taking the different measurements, analyse the data and discussion the results). I am writing a lot of scientific reports and scientific papers. Supervising some projects (National and international), master and PhD thesis and proficiently using the various fisheries stock assessment software programs, teaching different kinds of fish biology and fisheries courses and helping in the building capacity of the fisheries society. These kinds of work give me an experience in the assessment and management of fisheries through tropical and temperate marine and fresh water ecosystems, gaining in depth experience in the fishery biology, population dynamics, stock assessment and fisheries management studies in the Mediterranean Sea, Red sea, Egyptian lakes and River Nile.
