The Department of Animal, Aquaculture and Range Sciences is pleased to inform the scientific community that, our PhD candidate Mang’era Samwel Mnyoro has successfully defended his PhD today (16th of November, 2022).
The tittle of his PhD study is “DEVELOPING A COST-EFFECTIVE RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE SYSTEM UNIT USING LOCALLY AVAILABLE MEDIA AS BIOFILTERS FOR REMOVING AMMONIA AND NITRITE”
Dr. Mnyoro was supervised by Prof. S. W. Chenyambuga (SUA), Dr. R. N. Munubi (SUA) and Dr. L.F. Pedersen (DTU)
His research work was highly supported and funded by our partner Building Stronger Universities (BSU) project. During his research studies, Dr. Mnyoro managed to publish a number of journal articles and some were submitted for reviews.
