Miguel Fonseca Pinto has completed a BSc in Biology (2017) and a MSc in Ecology (2019) by Universidade de Coimbra. During his MSc he researched the early-life history of the European seabass through the study of otoliths. During his MSc Miguel Pinto participated in several research projects focusing on marine and estuarine fish biology, ecology and climate change. This work led to his first scientific publication in May 2021, titled "Influence of oceanic and climate conditions on the early life history of European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax", which received attention (in the form of published articles) from the national press. Currently, he works in the area(s) of Natural sciences, Climate Change and Fisheries. As part of his PhD project, he researches on the impacts of Climate change in the portuguese fisheries sector, including both ecological and socioeconomic dimensions, including adaptation plans to possible future changes. Miguel as so far contributed to the publication of 6 peer-reviewed research articles and a book. Keywords: Climate change; Fisheries Management; Adaptive capacity; Otoliths; Fish growth; Nursery; Recruitment; Juveniles.
