Laboratory of Fish Ecophysiology

Professor Dr. Md Shahjahan is presenting our lab research at the global stage!!

Proud to see our team from the Laboratory of Fish Ecophysiology representing our research at the 8th International Symposium on Cage Aquaculture in Asia in Khanh Hoa, Vietnam! 🇻🇳

​Looking forward to the valuable insights, innovative ideas, and collaborative opportunities they will bring back to our work.

​

Our professor, Dr. Md Shahjahan has embarked on a two-week academic tour through Vietnam and Japan to connect with global collaborators and present at an international conference.

The lab wishes him safe travels and great success with his engagements. We look forward to his return on July 30th! 🌏📊

We are delighted to share that our lab has achieved its 19th publication of 2026, now published in Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances [Elsevier, Q1; IF: 9.1]. The article titled “Spatio-temporal dynamics and risk assessment of microplastics in water, sediment and fish from a critical wetland ecosystem: Arial Beel, Bangladesh”.
Heartfelt congratulations to all the authors for this accomplishment. We express our sincere gratitude to Professor Dr. Md Shahjahan Sir for his invaluable supervision, continuous support, and inspiring guidance throughout this research.

Our monthly lab meeting was held yesterday.

We talked about our latest updates, figured out our upcoming plans, and got some great direction from our supervisor to keep us on the right track. Ready for the next month!

We are incredibly proud to host our international peers..

Our lab team has just completed an intensive two-day sampling window across multiple concurrent experiments. This research evaluates how vital aquaculture species, specifically Nile tilapia and rohu, respond to a combination of anthropogenic and environmental stressors. Our current trials focus on the impacts of microplastics, pesticides, heavy metals, and critical shifts in water quality.

​Alongside assessing these stressors, we are investigating eco-friendly bioremediation strategies. We aim to develop sustainable mitigation tools to safeguard fish health and enhance aquaculture resilience.

​Thanks to the team for their dedication during this demanding sampling period. We capped off the hard work by enjoying a wonderful lunch together afterward to celebrate a successful wrap.

We are delighted to share that our lab has achieved its 16th publication of this year, now published in Journal of Toxicology [Wiley, Q2; IF: 2.8]. The article titled “Combined Effects of Microplastics and Mercury on Growth, Hematology, Tissue Morphology, GH/IGF Axis, and Antioxidant–Immune Responses in Nile Tilapia”.

Heartfelt congratulations to all the authors for this accomplishment. We express our sincere gratitude to Professor Dr. Md Shahjahan Sir for his invaluable supervision, continuous support, and inspiring guidance throughout this research.

We are delighted to share that our lab has achieved its 15th publication of this year, now published in Environmental Challenges [Elsevier, Q1; CS: 10.8]. The article titled “Combined effects of organophosphate pesticide and mercury on hematological profiles, gill and liver structure, and immune–antioxidant responses in Nile tilapia”.

Heartfelt congratulations to all the authors for this accomplishment. We express our sincere gratitude to Professor Dr. Md Shahjahan Sir for his invaluable supervision, continuous support, and inspiring guidance throughout this research.

Today was all about treating our French collaborators to some classic hospitality before their departure. Huge thanks to our amazing alumni who opened up their homes today—first for a fantastic lunch, and later for some delicious afternoon snacks! ☕🍛

​After a great day of food, laughter, and final conversations, we officially wrapped up their visit, saw them off from the lab, and wished them a safe journey to the airport.

​Thank you for an incredible week of collaboration and memories. Safe travels, friends! 🇫🇷✈️
