Mr. Hinzano is a trained aquaculturist and holds a MSc in aquaculture from University of Gent Belgium. Besides academic training, Mr. Hinzano has also received professional trainings in live feed production and marine hatchery development and management. Mr Hinzano has also participated in a number of aquaculture livelihoods development projects. Before appointment to KMFRI, Mr Hinzano has worked as a technical assistant in a project funded by the funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade that piloted breeding of local Penaeid shrimp and spearheaded breeding of local shrimp species in Kenya. Through the engagements, Mr. Hinzano has gained a rich experience in marine fish and crustacean breeding and laviculture, and live feed production more so algae, rotifers and Artemia. Mr. Hinzano has taken part in book chapters development and peer reviewed journal publications as a Co-author. Current, his research focus is on application of dietary herbs and single cell protein technologies in improvement of quality and robustness of hatchery produced crustacean larvae.
