Mr Abdalla Salah

With roots in aquaculture since the 1980s, my family's journey began with my grandfather's first fish farm, before I was born in 1991. Today, we operate eight farms - three marine and five freshwater sites - across four governorates in Egypt, cultivating a diverse range of species including Tilapia, Shrimp, Sea bass, Sea bream, Meagre, and Eels. This lifelong immersion in aquaculture has fuelled my passion since childhood.

I pursued this passion academically, earning a degree in Veterinary Science in 2012, followed by MS in aquaculture nutrigenomics and stress management in 2017. My research in aquaculture began alongside my active involvement in our family business and consulting services. Since 2013, I have been a dedicated member of academia, initially as a Teaching Assistant and advancing to Assistant Lecturer in aquaculture sciences, Kafrelsheikh University, Egypt.

With 14 years of multi-country training and experience in diverse aquaculture systems and species, Aquafeed production, and R&D disciplines, I have participated in professional engagements and multinational projects across Egypt, Romania, Italy, the USA, Vietnam, and the UK.

In addition to my academic role, I have provided technical consulting for various Aquafeed mills, Feed additive companies, Medium and large-scale Fish Farms, and WorldFish projects.

In 2021, I further expanded my academic horizons by pursuing a PhD journey at the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling in the UK.

Beyond research, I am deeply passionate about translating scientific knowledge into actionable insights for the aquaculture industry. My goal is to bridge the gap between research and practice, engaging with industry professionals, producers, stakeholders, and the broader aquaculture community to support sustainable growth and innovation.

Let’s Connect! I am always open to discussing aquaculture innovations, nutrigenomics, sustainable feed solutions, and industry trends. Let’s connect to explore opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and community engagement in aquaculture.
