Judith Betsy is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Aquaculture, Fisheries College and Research Institute of Tamil Nadu Dr. J. Jayalalithaa Fisheries University, Tuticorin, India. Holding a doctorate in Aquaculture, she is a recipient of the Maulana Azad National Fellowship from the University Grants Commission, New Delhi, India. Having worked in fish gamete cryopreservation and spermatology for the past 10 years, she has been honoured with 10 awards including gold medals for her outstanding academic performance during her graduate studies and has published over 30 research papers in peer-reviewed journals around the world, more than 85 technical articles, 6 book chapters and 6 books.

 

Siva is a Scientist at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research - Directorate of Coldwater Fisheries Research, Bhimtal, India. He has more than eight years of experience in the field of Fish Genetics and Breeding and has operated around ten institutionally and externally funded research projects in various capacities. He has been involved in developing complete mitogenomes, transcriptome assemblies, and molecular markers for important coldwater fishes of India. He has been involved in studies related to the identification of different fish genetic stocks in India and mining genes and alleles related to economic traits and sex-related functions in fish. He has several research publications to his credit. At present, he is working in the area of comparative transcriptomics to study the underlying genetic mechanisms of sex determination and differentiation in important coldwater fish species of India.
