My research career has been largely focused on the fish aquaculture. My studies have paid special attention to issues related to nutritional conditions, assessing their potential effects on growth, health and stress of reared fish. In the last few years, I have executed projects related to Maritime Spatial Planning, small-scale fisheries and ecosystem services, thus achieving a 360º view on the marine sciences.
