Dr. Shreya Bhattacharya is a V2V International Postdoctoral Fellow! Shreya is based at the ICAR-Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute, Kolkata India and will be working closely with V2V Country Coordinator and Co-Investigator Dr. Basanta Das, who is also currently the Director of CIFRI. Shreya brings with her over ten years of research experience particularly focused on the conservation of Indian inland freshwater fish diversity and their contributions to the livelihoods of rural poor. She received her PhD degree from Vidyasagar University, West Bengal, India and studied captive breeding and culture of ornamental fish for natural stock conservation as part of her doctoral research. As part of her work with V2V, Shreya will play a crucial role in synthesising case studies and data on inland freshwater SSF systems of India and assess their contributions to vulnerability to viability transitions.
