  • Dr.Suchart Ingthamjitr was born in Bangkok, Thailand but currently living in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand 73000.
  • He is currently a retired government officer with 35 years of work experiences. He devoted his effort entirely on water quality studies in fisheries and aquaculture related issues. Working in collaboration/coordination with number of local/international researchers/institutions as evidenced in the selected publications. He had joined the Department of Aquaculture, Faculty of Fisheries, Kasetsart University since 2012 as a lecturer for aquaculture. Outstanding achievements while working in the university were transferring knowledge on Biofloc technology (closed aquaculture system) to farmers/researchers and promote tilapia culture in Mozambique.

Field of Interests

My research interests had been focusing on sustainable fisheries and aquaculture production. Thirty five years’ work experience included wide range corporate issues; microalgal culture, water quality, aquatic environmental impact assessment, wetland study, aquaculture system development and etc. These multidisciplinary issues are important to support achievement of sustainable fisheries production. Environment deterioration, aquatic environment in particular however has been widely recognized as a crucial development issue. Intensive aquaculture is inevitable a source of nutrient load release to the environment. Sustainable intensive aquaculture development is impossible unless an effective closed system is developed and widely practice. Biofloc technology might be a good alternative among current many other developed closed culture system to replace the problematic water discharge system.
