Activity summary

My research focuses on the use of molecular tools to infer population structure, phylogeny and phylogeography of aquatic species. I've been actively involved in the management and conservation of fish species, habitat rehabilitation and fisheries management. Currently I coordinate the INTERREG Atlantic Area project “DiadSea - Transnational cooperation to improve the management and conservation of diadromous fish at sea" and belong to several international working groups from ICES and OSPAR.
