Hiam Elabd

Hiam Elabd studies the health and physiology of farmed fish, especially Nile tilapia and African catfish, focusing on how diet, plant extracts, nanoparticles, and probiotics affect their immune systems, growth, and resistance to toxins and disease. This work sits at the intersection of aquaculture (fish farming) and toxicology, aiming to find natural or nanotechnology-based feed additives that protect fish from pollutants, pathogens, and environmental stress. Much of the research involves measuring blood chemistry, antioxidant activity, gene expression, and tissue changes in fish exposed to various dietary supplements or toxic substances.

Publication output grew from a few papers per year in 2017-2019 to a peak of 8 in 2022, and has since remained fairly steady at 5-6 papers per year through 2025.
