Research Interests

Study the effect of different environmental factors on the biological and physiology of living organisms. The most important of which are the difference in temperatures during the different seasons of the year.

Reproductive biology and physiology study in fishes.

Search keys:  Thermal tolerance, Heat Shock Proteins, and Thermal Acclimation.

                      Reproductive Physiological in Fishes .
