Dr. Reda is the Head of Fisheries Department at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT). He obtained a bachelor degree in Fish Production in 2008 and an M.Sc. with a thesis title: “Biological, Histochemical and Nutritional Studies on Seabass Dicentrarchus labrax fish”, in 2012. Afterwards, he joined the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries NIOF (Egypt) as an assistant researcher; his work included studying biology, fishery and population structure of fish species. In 2018, he obtained a PhD in Fisheries Science with a title of “Abundance, distribution and fishery biology of family Mullidae in the Mediterranean waters of Egypt”. Starting from 2016, he joined the College of Fisheries and Aquaculture Technology, AASTMT, as a lecturer of fisheries biology and Management. He is the instructor of diverse fisheries-related courses of undergraduate and postgraduate Fisheries Programs. The courses are Ichthyology, Fisheries Biology, Fisheries Population Dynamics, Fisheries Science, Sustainable Fisheries Management and Applied Statistics in Fisheries and Aquaculture. At the national level, Dr. Reda represents Egypt (FAO_GFCM Geographical Sub-Area 26) in the GFCM-WGSAD and WGSASP for stock assessment of priority fish species in the Egyptian Mediterranean; Metapenaeus Stebbingi, Mullus barbatus, Mullus surmuletus, Saurida undosquamis and Sardinella aurita. He analyzed the status of the populations of these species and the effectiveness of management actions. In addition, he served as onboard observer in several scientific trawl surveys along the Egyptian Mediterranean Sea coast using the two R/Vs of NIOF (Salsabil and Yarmouk) as well as commercial fishing vessels. At the regional level, as a fisheries consultant for FAO, he performed several tasks and assisted institutions (Research Institutes and Fisheries Departments) of the countries bordering the Eastern Mediterranean in the implementation of specific sample/data collection, ensuring the fulfillment of agreed protocols for fish stock unit identification and stock assessment as well working as instructor for capacity building in stock assessment. In summary, Dr. Reda combines together a real field experience with a solid scientific background, along with excellent communication skills as team-working has been a natural part of his fisheries science career development.
