Activity summary

The research work focuses on the biology and ecology of migratory fish, the rehabilitation of longitudinal connectivity, and the monitoring of fish communities. The methodologies employed include biotelemetry techniques, microsatellite molecular markers, otolith microchemical analysis (Sr:Ca and Ba:Ca ratios), and lipid metabolism with emphasis on fatty acids.
