My research is mainly related to the biology and ecology of pelagic fish species – reproduction, feeding ecology, growth and population dynamics. For the last couple of years, I have devoted myself to sampling and studying fish early life stages (ichthyoplankton - eggs, larvae) in order to expand our knowledge regarding its spawning and nursery grounds.
