Collins Prah Duodu
Programme of Study: PhD. Aquaculture
Email Address: duoducollins@ymail.com
Collins is an energetic, ambitious, self-motivated and a team player with strong managerial and analytical skills. He holds a BSc. in Natural Resource Management with specialisation in Fisheries and Watershed Management and an M.Phil. in Aquaculture. Currently a PhD student on the DANIDA-KNUST Sustainable Fish Feed Development (SusFeed) Project, his main objectives are to formulate cost effective tilapia feeds based on digestibility, nutritional value and amino acid profiles of selected local feed ingredients (copra, cotton seed cake, groundnut cake, and soybean cake ) to facilitate the growth of the tilapia aquaculture industry in Ghana through promoting the production and application of locally developed high quality feeds.

Lily is a focused and self-motivated individual and a resourceful team player. She enjoys travelling, networking and indulging in volunteer works. She studied Natural Resources Management at the undergraduate level. During her tenure as a Teaching and Research Assistant, she became abreast with the potential of aquaculture in scaling up food security hence her motivation in pursuing an MPhil in Aquaculture under the Sustainable Fish feed Development Project funded by KNUST and DANIDA. Under this project, she researched on the market availability of potential oilseed cakes and meals for commercial fish feed development in Ghana.

Programme of Study: MPhil. Aquaculture and Environment
Email Address: nuamahpriscilla@gmail.com
Priscilla is an astute and open-minded individual who is always ready to acquire knowledge and understand new things through learning, because she acknowledges that she cannot give what she does not have. She is almost through with her MPHIL on “assessing the impacts of the plant-based experimental diets on water quality with regards to nutrients released during their use in aquaculture”. Her study determined the effects of the developed feeds on total ammonia-nitrogen and phosphorus excretion rates as well as faecal matter production load of Oreochromis niloticus. Her work also examined the effects of the plant ingredients on the physical characteristics (bulk density, sinking velocities and water stability) and nutrient leaching rates of the pelleted diets.

Programme of Study: PhD. Aquaculture and Environment
Email Address: godfredowusuboateng@yahoo.com
Godfred is a focused and result-oriented person who is very methodical and analytical in his approach to work and completes his work to a high standard. His areas ofresearch include biochemistry and environmental resources management, particularly pollutant monitoring in surface water bodies. Godfred is currently a PhD student on the DANIDA-KNUST Sustainable Fish Feed (SusFeed) Project and his research is focused on the ecological impacts of the feeds that will be developed from the Project, i.e. provide data on expected nutrients released when using the feeds in aquaculture.
John Domozoro
Programme of Study: MPhil. Aquaculture
Email Address: mail2tietaa@gmail.com
John is a versatile young man who manages the Pill-Brook Aquatics; a Tilapia cage farm on the Volta Lake. His practicality and industry connections makes him an asset to the project team. John’s research study under the DANIDA-KNUST Sustainable Fish Feed Development (SusFeed) Project will be focussed on examining the growth performance of the optimized plant-based diet on Nile Tilapia culture in cages on the Volta Lake.
