Introduction
I am interested in wildlife ecology, biodiversity conservation, vertebrate ecophysiology, wildlife ecotoxicology, and ecosystem monitoring & a desire to conduct field-based research to answer anthropogenic impacts and natural phenomena on wildlife & ecosystems under the influence of climate variability. I aspire to provide expert knowledge & quality services in multidisciplinary fields to enhance sustainable development & social well-being while safeguarding the world's natural resources.

Nanotoxicity data for amphibians are limited compared to other taxonomic groups. The present study assessed toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nanoTiO2, anatase form, particle size < 25 nm) on tadpoles of Duttaphrynus melanostictus after short term and chronic exposures. Exposure to nanoTiO2 (≤ 100 mg/L) for 96 h had no significant effect...
Multi-biomarker approach is recognised as a complementary tool for environmental monitoring studies to better appraise how pollutants affect ecosystems. This study examined histological alterations in the liver tissues and nuclear abnormalities in the peripheral erythrocytes of two native fish species inhabiting the Kelani River (Etroplus suratensi...
Kelani River receives complex mixtures of pollutants from diverse sources which
include waste from industries, agriculture, domestic and municipal sources.
However, scientifically based evidences on biological impacts associated with the
Kelani River water are limited. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a practically
feasible aquatic model for...
Abstract Biomarkers can be considered as early warning signals for potential adverse effects on the biota. The present study examined the feasibility of using selected biomarker responses of a model fish, Oreochromis niloticus under laboratory exposure approach for identification of potential biological impacts of pollution in Kelani River. Laborat...
