Mudnakudu Channabasappa Nandeesha (1 July 1957 – 27 December 2012) was a development researcher, innovative aquaculture development worker and educator.[1] He is recognized for making critical contributions to the rapid growth of aquaculture[2][1] by applying research to key bottlenecks to fish production. In India, he conducted successful pioneering field tests of Ovaprim, an ovulating agent, under different agro-climatic conditions to help remove a critical early barrier for freshwater fish breeding. His significant scientific contributions include simplified breeding technology for 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]
