Assoc. Prof. Dr. Arash Javanshir-Khoei is a highly accomplished Iranian fisheries and aquatic sciences researcher whose work spans marine ecology, ecotoxicology, aquatic pollution, and environmental remediation. With over 220 scientific publications, including journal articles, conference papers, and books, his research has contributed substantially to understanding pollutant dynamics and ecosystem health in marine and freshwater environments. His scholarly impact is reflected in 221 citations, 22 indexed documents, and an h-index of 8. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Arash Javanshir-Khoei’s research focuses extensively on heavy metal contamination, nanoparticle toxicity, microplastics, and pesticide impacts on aquatic organisms. He has conducted pioneering studies on pollutants such as Cd, Pb, TiO₂, AgNPs, and chlorpyrifos in species including bivalves, oysters, carp, and estuarine fishes. His work integrates biomarkers, oxidative stress indicators, immune responses, and tissue-level toxicological assessments, offering critical insights into aquatic toxicology and environmental risk analysis. He has made major contributions to innovative water and wastewater treatment technologies, notably developing and evaluating systems such as the Bit Trap Filter (BTF) and BIODROF biological filtration units for removing industrial contaminants, pesticides, nanoparticles, and heavy metals. These systems have been applied to aquaculture effluent, urban wastewater, and industrial discharges, demonstrating significant capacity for eco-friendly pollutant reduction. His extensive research on bivalve filtration, bioaccumulation, phytoremediation, and biological purification processes has advanced nature-based solutions for water quality enhancement. He has also contributed to stock assessment, biodiversity monitoring, and hydrobiological modeling, particularly in the Caspian Sea basin. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Arash Javanshir-Khoei is the author of 18 books, covering marine science, limnology, toxicology, aquatic biodiversity, and identification manuals. He has presented over 90 conference papers globally, demonstrating leadership in disseminating aquatic ecology and pollution research. His research awards include innovations in cyclic compound absorption and domestic wastewater treatment system design, highlighting his commitment to applied environmental solutions. His reviewer and scholarly contributions, combined with longstanding R&D in aquatic systems, position him as a leading figure in Iran’s environmental and fisheries research landscape.
