As part of the water quality monitoring program with the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program (BTNEP), we conducted water sampling at ten different sections of Bayou Folse.
We measured key physicochemical parameters of the water, including temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and total dissolved solids (TDS). To assess microbial contamination, water samples were collected for nutrient analysis and fecal coliform bacteria enumeration. Additionally, we recorded environmental variables such as ambient air temperature, wind velocity, and flow direction of the bayou. Water transparency and depth were also measured to evaluate hydrological conditions and overall water quality dynamics.

Sampling of crayfish in the Big Creek and Tchefuncte Rivers of Louisiana through electro-fishing.
Observation of spotted gar fertilized eggs prior to CRISPR-Cas9. I gained the theoretical knowledge of this from my Biotechnology Course in the Faculty of Fisheries at Bangladesh Agricultural University.
But now here in Nicholls, I got the opportunity to gain practical experience.
Rearing zooplankton like Artemia, Daphnia, and Moina to provide live food for spotted gar fish fries, and phytoplanktons like Spirulina and Chlorella for those zooplanktons.
Processing of Spotted Gar after a successful breeding session.
Monitoring the successful establishment of cages at one of our project sites in Bhola. We involved local coastal community members with expertise in fishing to motivate and empower them to adopt marine/coastal cage culture. This helps conserve marine life and provides sustainable jobs for our coastal neighbors.
Measuring salinity in the Sundarbans, the largest mangrove forest in the world, specifically in the Sundarbans Channel, to aid in site selection for our seabass cage culture
A photo from one of our visits to the fishermen's houses, during which we discussed the prospects of Seabass cage culture and the benefits of their involvement in the project
