We are proud to celebrate a remarkable achievement by our colleague, Ragavan Nadarajah, who has successfully defended his PhD dissertation at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka. His research was conducted under the supervision of Professor Chamari Dissanayake and Senior Professor Sivashantini Kuganathan.

Ragavan's dissertation focused on the population dynamics of shrimp fisheries in the Jaffna Lagoon, where he conducted cross-cutting research on ecological and socio-economic dimensions of the fishery. His work is especially significant for contributing to the sustainable management of this highly valuable and in-demand species, particularly in the context of data-limited fisheries.
