Ecological Modeling of Growth and Nutrient Dynamics of Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture System using STELLA software
Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) GmbH, Bremen, Germany
Method / software: STELLA Architect 4.4.1
- Mechanistic process-based modeling. Have started working with the “Spatial Ecology and Interactions” and “Ecosystem Dynamics and Resource Sustainability” working groups at ZMT. As a part of ecological modeling, STELLA software is applied to Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture to optimize species interactions with biomass and nutrient flux like dissolved inorganic nutrients and suspended solid matter under physical drivers.

From Bandarban to Bremen
In 1994, I was born and raised in the hilly area of Bandarban, Bangladesh. My area is fortunate in terms of both geography and culture. Along with the locals, there are eleven different ethnic communities present. The Almighty has blessed us with lush hills and untamed streams. In Bandarban, where I completed my primary, high school, and upper secondary education, I had the happiest recollections.
The high hills, expansive blue sky and variety of living styles in the area where I was born have inspired me to go in search of something special, worthwhile and useful. I have always been fascinated by exploring natural resources because I grew up in a setting rich in culture. My passion was brought on by my scholastic background. Even in my professional life, I visited numerous isolated towns, which solidified my desire to deal with the environment, particularly aquatic resources.
