Profile


Dr. Aniefiok Ini Inyang is, at present, the lecturer at the Marine Biology Department, Akwa Ibom State University, Nigeria. He is also among the research team at the Mangrove Ecosystem research Lab. at SCSIO. He obtained his Ph.D degree in Marine Science (with specialty in Marine Biology) in the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. He obtained his M.Sc degree in Marine Biology in 2014 from the University of Lagos, Nigeria; and B.Sc in Marine Biology in 2010 from the University of Calabar, Nigeria. He obtained his O'level certificate in 2003 from Etinan Institute, Etinan. He is also an awardee of both the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) and the Silk Road International Fellowship. 
He has over 16 scientific publication in International peer-reviewed journals in Marine Biology and Environmental Science.
