Mudnakudu Channabasappa Nandeesha (1 July 1957 – 27 December 2012) was a development researcher, innovative

cyprinids and development of feeds and feeding techniques appropriate to rural aquaculture,[3] and helping improve and spread the practices of small scale fish farming at a time when most attention was on large scale producers.[3] He wrote a regular and widely acclaimed column in Network of Aquaculture Centers in Asia-Pacific (NACA) Aquaculture Asia magazine on farmer innovations in aquaculture.[3] He was described as an "ambassador for aquaculture" and was especially noted for promoting aquaculture for the disadvantaged poor households and women.[3] Along with Michael New, in 2003 he was a founding member of the not-for-profit organisation, Aquaculture without Frontiers.[3] While encouraging poor people to take up aquaculture, he was also a pioneer in promoting equity for women, who had been neglected in the aquaculture boom.[4][5] Throughout his career, he was in the forefront of initiatives to upgrade the professionalism of fisheries and aquaculture experts,[6] and inspired peers and students in critical new directions.[7]

His professional career, which began in the 1980s, made significant contributions during the important early rapid development of Indian, Asian and world aquaculture. In this period, aquaculture became and remains the fastest growing food production sector.

poverty eradication and food security and nutrition,[5][23] and in building human resources.[21] While subsequently working for international agencies[24] in several countries, he energized the field of aquaculture research for development and worked in developing its professional societies and human resources,[21][1] and creating professional international institutional partnerships.[25]

Nandeesha received several honors for his work.[1] He was formally honored by government and professional society awards at several levels: national, among which were the Royal Order of Sahametrei Knight Award by the Prime Minister of Cambodia,[2] and the Asian Fisheries Society Indian Branch gold medal;[26] regional, e.g., Asian Fisheries Society gold medal; and global, e.g., World Aquaculture Society fellow.[27] He held leadership positions in several professional and industry societies, one of which, the Asian Fisheries Society Indian Branch he helped create.[1] He helped build stronger and new higher education institutions for aquaculture, including the Tamil Nadu Fisheries University that he helped build out of the Fisheries College and Research Institute, Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. He was Vice-Chancellor Designate when he died.[28] Posthumously, his contributions were recognized by special tributes from his peers,[29][30][31][32] and an FAO sponsored course in advanced fisheries and aquaculture economics named in his honor.[33][34] In honors reserved for few people, the Asian Fisheries Society, World Aquaculture Society and Asian Fisheries Society Indian Branch, have named awards in his honor.

Biography

Early years and education[35]

Nandeesha was born in Mudnakudu, a village near Mysore, Karnataka, into a rural farming family.

College of Fisheries, Mangalore, Karnataka, India, and gained a Bachelor of Fisheries Science (1976–1980) and Master of Fisheries Science (1987–1992). He gained his Ph.D. in zoology/fisheries from Visva-Bharati University
, Santiniketan, West Bengal, India. His thesis title was "Formulation and evaluation of artificial diets for carps."

Career[35]

After obtaining his first degree, Nandeesha's fisheries career began in 1982 when he served, until 1985, as a Research Assistant (Fisheries) in the Agriculture College, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. India. He then became an Assistant Professor (1985–1992), in the Department of Aquaculture,

College of Fisheries
Mangalore, India.

In 1992, Nandeesha took up a development position in Cambodia, working until 1997 as Fisheries Adviser for the non-governmental organisation (NGO) Partnership for Development in Kampuchea (Padek), Phnom Penh,

College of Fisheries
, University of Agricultural Sciences, Mangalore, before moving back to development work, this time in Bangladesh.

From 1998–2001, he worked for CARE Bangladesh in the Agriculture and Natural Resources Sector, committed to two major aquaculture projects, first as Research and Dissemination Advisor to LIFE (Locally Intensified Farming Enterprise) Project and then as Project Coordinator of the GOLDA (Greater Options for Local Development through Aquaculture) Project. In these projects, he worked with many local Bangladeshi non-government organisations, such as Banchte Shekha, a women-led organisation (see poster "My Wife Does Not Work").

In 2001 he returned to India and soon took up the challenge to become Professor and Department-in-Charge at the new College of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University, Tripura State, northeast India, a position he held until 2008. From 2008 to 2010, he worked as an adviser to aquaculture work in Tripura and consulted to international organisations, including Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA), the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Bank.[40]

In 2010 he became Dean of the Fisheries College and Research Institute, Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu,[41] moving in 2012 to become Special Officer for Tamil Nadu Fisheries University, Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu, carrying out the preliminary work for the establishment of the university, including formulating the Act that came into effect 19 June 2012.[42] At the time of his death, he was Vice-Chancellor designate of the Tamil Nadu Fisheries University.[28]

Several high-profile aquaculture experts, research leaders and educators considered Nandeesha's personal influence on them to have inspired their careers.[7]

Professional Achievements

Nandeesha's professional career spanned breakthrough work in fish breeding, small scale fish farming for people's development, innovative communications for small scale aquaculture development, upgrading professional competence through building professional societies and higher education institutions, and pioneered agitation for greater gender equality in fisheries and aquaculture.

Fish Breeding for Aquaculture

Nandeesha led significant breakthroughs in improving fish production in India when he tested the use of Ovaprim, a synthetic hormone preparation produced in Canada for inducing breeding of carps based on research in China and Canada. Following successful testing of Ovaprim

Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala), the procedure was trialed on 8 species of carps in 9 states of India, with outstanding results.[44]
The uptake of this technology was a turning point in the culture of Indian carps, removing a bottleneck in fish breeding for supplying sufficient fry.

As he moved into development assistance, focusing on small scale farmers, his interest in how farmers could procure adequate supplies of affordable, quality fish seed remained a commitment in all his subsequent work. He took an active part in the 2006 FAO Expert Workshop and study on Freshwater Fish Seed Resources for Sustainable Aquaculture, leading to the publication of the FAO assessment report.[45]

Fish Feeds

Along with fish breeding, fish feeds are critical to the success of fish farming. In parallel with his fish breeding work, M.C. Nandeesaha was very active in the early work on fish feeds for the freshwater species such as Anabas testudineus (climbing perch), Catla catla, other carps and other freshwater fish species, especially focusing on finding non-conventional, locally available and nutritionally effective feed ingredients.[46][47]

Aquaculture for human development

From the start of his professional career, Nandeesha's driving reason for working in aquaculture was to benefit the farmers and those their products fed. When he began development assistance work in Cambodia in 1992, he was confronted by people seeking opportunities as they emerged from the ravages of decades of war. Grasping the issues confronting farmers and potential farmers, he worked with people on farm-made aquafeeds,[48] the overall aquaculture situation[49] and the opportunities for bringing native Mekong River fish species into aquaculture.[50] When he arrived in Cambodia, he was also confronted by the demographic impacts of war, with the population comprising 65% women. The women were contributing more than men in small scale aquaculture.[51] His NGO employer, PADEK (Partnership for Development in Kampuchea) provided a platform for reaching women and helping improve their knowledge and farming performance. This would also accelerate work he had begun in India[20] on engaging others in helping women improve their economic participation in fisheries and aquaculture (see Gender equality in aquaculture and fisheries).[4]

In 1997, the Royal Government of Cambodia recognized him and his PADEK colleagues for "contributions to Human Resource Development at the Royal University of Agriculture, Cambodia."[21] In 2006, the Prime Minister of Cambodia awarded Nandeesha with a Royal Order of Sahametrei Knight Award, a civilian honour of the Government of Cambodia, for contributions to fisheries development of Cambodia during work in Cambodia from 1992–97.

After Cambodia, Nandeesha's next major assignment was in Bangladesh where he worked with CARE-Bangladesh as the research and dissemination advisor for the LIFE (Locally Intensified Farming Enterprise) Project and Project Coordinator for the GOLDA (Greater Options for Local Development through Aquaculture) Project. Through his work here, and later from India, on the culture of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii - also called golda in Bangladesh and India), he made the extremely important point that it was the farmers themselves who first experimented with the integration of giant freshwater prawn into their agricultural systems, i.e. the rice field or gher, in southwest Bangladesh. The farmers were the innovators in the "gher revolution".[52] This demonstrated the suitability of this commercial, but low-external input system for small-scale farmers because it fitted into and added value to their existing enterprise. Macrobrachium culture also became another field in which Nandeesha's knowledge was respected and in which he published.[53]

From Bangladesh, Nandeesha moved to Tripura, a small geographically isolated state in northern India.[54] There, as professor and head of the Department of Aquaculture, he developed undergraduate and postgraduate programs in aquaculture and led studies on the farming systems of the northeastern area of India with many fish eaters but a large demand-supply gap in fish.[55] He was able to bring in his now considerable knowledge of farming systems, breeds, feeds and sharpen his keen eye for learning from farmers' own innovations. More frequently, he was being called on by FAO and other international agencies for aquaculture development advice.

In all his efforts to develop aquaculture to help people improve their own lives. Nandeesha worked in and with several types of expert agencies, from universities to development non-government organisations (NGOs), through to international development agencies.

Gender equality in aquaculture and fisheries

As a critical strategy in bringing aquaculture to small scale farmers, Nandeesha led field projects and worked through institutions and professional societies to promote gender equity and enhance women's opportunities and recognition.[4][56][57] His contributions were pivotal and have led to sustained action and institutions.

In 1990, he initiated the "Women in Fisheries in India" workshop of the Asian Fisheries Society Indian Branch (AFSIB),[20] a first in an Asian country. Between 1992 and 1997, when working for Padek in Cambodia, he was confronted by a population depleted by the civil war, during which men suffered even greater losses than women, leaving many households headed by women. Women became key partners in Padek's aquaculture development. The 1994 "Women in Cambodian Fisheries" workshop Nandeesha led also highlighted how women contributed in capture fisheries in the Mekong River and Tonle Sap, and were vital in the fish markets.[58] From 1998 to 2001, Nandeesha worked for the Agriculture and Natural Resources section of CARE-Bangladesh when it decided to focus on helping women in aquaculture, building on the women's skills in home vegetable gardening and livestock. In practice, helping women proved difficult, particularly because almost all the extensionists were men with little appreciation of women's needs and of how they learned. To overcome the challenges, CARE took three steps. The first was specifying project goals for women's participation; the second choosing extension methods and interventions that were best able to benefit women; and the third, most difficult, step was building a more gender-sensitive organisation.[59]

As he worked on these projects, Nandeesha built an ever-widening set of professional partnerships that eventually created a sustained pathway for raising awareness of women's contributions to fisheries and aquaculture. The partnerships spread to Indo-China countries,[60] Asia-wide,[61] and worldwide.[62] The partnerships broadened into a collaborative gender equality platform for researchers, including students, development workers and activists.[63][64][65][66][67][68]

In 2017, the Asian Fisheries Society officially launched its Gender in Aquaculture and Fisheries Section,[69] building on the work Nandeesha started in 1990 with the Women in Fisheries in India Workshop.[46][20] This is the first formal gender section in a mainstream fisheries or aquaculture society.

The technology of breeding carps using luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRHa) analogues with dopamine antagonists (such as Ovaprim) started in Karnataka and was later tested in an all India trial. This technique of breeding fishes is still widely used throughout India, and in other Asian countries. In 2014, nearly 5 million tonnes of the 3 Indian major carps were produced in India and neighbouring countries (FAO Species Fact Sheets
    ). In addition, the Government of India used the results of the studies by Nandeesha and colleagues as the basis to allow the wide scale usage of Ovaprim for breeding of fishes.
