Research Areas
Seven research areas where field data, ecology and quantitative modelling come together. The core of the work centres on large pelagic fishes in the Mediterranean and Aegean, small-scale coastal fisheries, and sustainable fisheries management.
Fishery Management of Large Pelagics
Sustainable management, stock assessment and policy of large pelagic fisheries within the international fisheries management framework.
Fisheries Ecology of Large Pelagics
Habitat use, distribution and ecosystem role of swordfish, tuna and other large pelagic species.
Modeling and Data Analysis with R
CPUE standardisation and analysis of fisheries data within generalised and additive modelling paradigms through reproducible workflows.
Fisheries Biology
Characterising age, growth, reproduction and feeding biology of target species through field-collected data.
Population Dynamics
Estimation of stock size, mortality rates and reference points for sustainable exploitation.
Fishing Technology
Gear design, selectivity trials and artificial-reef applications for small-scale coastal fisheries.
Aquatic Invasions
Tracking the ecological impacts of non-native species in the Mediterranean and Aegean and their consequences for local fisheries.
