Research Interests
My research is based on the evaluation and management of some marine resources and some fundamental parameters of their life cycle, such as age estimation, growth and reproduction. The focus is mainly on the class of Cephalopod Molluscs and on all aspects that concern them: fishing, growth, behavior and reproductive strategies.
