Anubhab Sil is a Bachelor of Fisheries Science student at the College of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University in Imphal, India. His academic focus lies in aquaculture, integrated fish farming, and sustainable fisheries, supported by research experience in fish nutrition and bio-floc culture systems.
Growing up in India, where fisheries are both an economic backbone and a sustainability challenge, Anubhab has developed a strong interest in conservation and in exploring how innovation can transform the sector. His internship with the Iceland Ocean Cluster allows him to engage with circular economy models and contribute to mapping the blue economy in India, while gaining perspectives that will inform his aspiration to advance sustainable aquaculture worldwide.
Beyond academics, Anubhab is an active debater who has received national-level recognition, and he enjoys expressing creativity through playing the piano. His interests in conservation, art, literature, astronomy, and geopolitics continue to shape his curiosity and global outlook.
During his time with the Iceland Ocean Cluster, Anubhab will contribute to a project mapping the blue economy in India. This work will highlight key sectors, hubs, and stakeholders, and provide recommendations on how an Indian Ocean Cluster could emerge. The project will expand IOC’s international cluster mapping while giving Anubhab the chance to connect his academic expertise to a real-world strategy for sustainable growth.
