Gabriel has more than 15 years of experience in the aquaculture field, particularly in aquaculture nutrition. His past research focused on discovering sustainable alternative feed additives that enhance fish health, disease resistance, growth, and are environmentally and economically sustainable. His post-doctoral studies centered on searching for alternative plant protein sources in aquaculture and studying the inclusion of conditional amino acids (hydroxyproline) in aquafeed.

Dr. Kenneth Prudence Abasubong obtained both his master's and doctoral degrees at Nanjing Agricultural University in China. He has a bachelor's degree in animal sciences from the University of Calabar. In addition to this, he holds a postgraduate diploma in aquatic environmental management from the University of Uyo in Nigeria. Dr. Abasubong specializes in aquaculture nutrition, with a focus on fish nutrient metabolism, excretion, immune pathways, feed science, eco-intensification of fish farming using recycled waste, and sustainable aquaculture development. He is currently conducting post-doctoral research at the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters, South Bohemian Research Center of Aquaculture and Biodiversity of Hydrocenoses, Institute of Aquaculture and Protection of Waters, Czech Republic. With over nine years of experience as an animal and aquaculture nutrition researcher, Abasubong has built a strong foundation in his field.

Dr. Victoria Ndinelago Erasmus holds a doctorate degree in fisheries science from Rhodes University, South Africa. She also has a master's degree in biology, a post-graduate diploma in education and a bachelor's degree in environmental, molecular and physiological biology, from the University of Namibia. Dr. Erasmus is a marine scientist who works as the operations manager at the Fisheries Observer Agency (FOA), Namibia. The fisheries observers observe the harvesting, handling, and processing of marine resources. Dr. Erasmus has over 10 years of research experience in the field of marine science. Dr Erasmus has 15+ peer-reviewed scientific publications, including a book chapter. Her research interest includes fisheries management, ocean governance, climate change, feeding ecology of marine species, aquaculture, and marine pollution.

Dr. Manoj Tukaram Kamble currently serves as a C2F post-doctoral researcher (Track A) at the Center of Excellence in Wildlife, Exotic, and Aquatic Animal Pathology within the Faculty of Veterinary Science at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. He obtained his master's and doctorate degree in aquaculture and aquatic resources management (AARM) from the Asian Institute of Technology, Pathum Thani, Thailand, and his bachelor's degree in fisheries science from the College of Fisheries, Maharashtra, India. His academic achievements include receiving postdoctoral researcher positions at both Chulalongkorn University and Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand. He has more than 10 years of research experience in sustainable aquaculture. Kamble's research interests encompass a diverse array of subjects, including phytobiotics, sulfated polysaccharides, herbal anesthetics, and the development of nanovaccines for disease resistance in various aquaculture species such as Nile tilapia, red tilapia, Pacific white shrimp, freshwater prawn, and mud crab.
