Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pant Nagar. Dr. Singh further advanced his expertise through a post-doctoral training at the International Centre of Excellence in Seafood Science and Innovation, Prince of Songkla University, Thailand. His research specializes in inland saline shrimp culture, fish population dynamics, and stock assessment. With over 56 high-impact peer-reviewed research articles, numerous book chapters, and popular articles to his name, Dr. Singh is a respected reviewer and editorial board member for top journals.

Prof. Dr. Soottawat Benjakul
is currently working as a professor at the Faculty of Agro-Industry, Prince of Songkla University (PSU), Hat Yai, Thailand. He is the Director of the International Center of Excellence in Seafood Science and Innovation (ICE-SSI). He received his Ph.D. in food science and technology from Oregon State University, USA. His research focuses on improving seafood quality, particularly through non-thermal processes and natural additives for shelf-life extension, and on valorizing fish processing byproducts into value-added products like functional ingredients and nutraceuticals. With over 1,104 publications and an H-index of 105, his work has garnered more than 47,370 citations. Prof. Benjakul has received numerous national and international research grants and prestigious awards, including recognition as one of the top 1% of researchers in Agricultural Sciences by Clarivate Analytics for eight consecutive years.
