Later joined a research project titled Fish Brood Stock improvement by Genetic Engineering, the project was taken up for improving the growth of commercial fishes like Carps and Catfish by incorporating Growth hormone genes of Rainbow Trout. Ornamental Fishes were used as experimental fish as the life span was short and growth was fast. The eggs of test fishes were injected with rainbow trout growth hormone genes by micro-injection, electroporation method. The gene extraction of the test fishes was done for analysis of gene incorporation.  The survival rate of fishes  from hatching to juveniles was about 80-90% survival was achieved by maintaining pure cultures of small rotifers and daphnia.
