BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Md Rakeb‑Ul Islam is a Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Marine Science at Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU), Bangladesh. He has established himself as a prominent academic and researcher in the field of fisheries science, marine ecology, and sustainable aquatic resource management. His academic career spans extensive teaching, mentoring, and conducting impactful research that addresses the ecological, biological, and socio‑economic aspects of coastal and marine ecosystems. Dr. Islam’s research encompasses a wide range of areas, including fisheries ecology and stock assessment, aquaculture development, catch‑per‑unit‑effort (CPUE) analysis, carbon sequestration in coastal farming systems, and biodiversity conservation in the Bay of Bengal. His work integrates field-based ecological studies with socio‑economic perspectives, producing research outcomes that inform policy decisions, conservation strategies, and livelihood improvements for fishing communities. As a dedicated educator, Dr. Islam teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses on fisheries science, marine ecology, aquaculture systems, and research methodologies. He has supervised numerous BSc, MSc, research projects, encouraging students to combine academic rigor with practical applications. His mentorship has fostered the growth of young researchers who are actively contributing to fisheries and marine science in Bangladesh. Dr. Islam has published extensively in peer‑reviewed journals and presented his work at national and international conferences. His collaborative research projects with local and international partners have strengthened interdisciplinary approaches to fisheries management, biodiversity protection, and climate‑resilient aquaculture. He also contributes to professional service through peer reviewing, participation in academic committees, and engagement with capacity‑building programs for students, researchers, and local communities.
