Publications

Dr. Grace Afumwaa Boamah is a Lecturer at the Water Resources and Aquaculture Management of the University of Environment and Sustainable Development (UESD) in Somanaya, Eastern Region. She holds a Ph.D. Marine Biology, XMU, China; MSc. Fisheries Science, PKNU, South Korea and BSc. Natural Resources Management, KNUST, Ghana.
Her main research interest is aquaculture breeding technologies and developing new species for aquaculture. My research methods involve investigating the tolerance capacity of aquaculture species to abiotic and biotic stresses, the impact of environmental stressors on the meat quality of aquaculture species, the mechanisms of environmental stress tolerance in aquaculture species, and identifying markers for breeding stress-resilient aquaculture species.
