Curriculum

I am a researcher at the Portuguese Fisheries Research Institute (IPIMAR) of the National Institute of Biological Resources (INRB). In 1990, I completed a degree in Marine Biology and Fisheries at the University of Algarve (Portugal) and undertook my PhD at the same university, where I studied several aspects related to the bivalve dredge fishery that occurs along the south coast of Portugal (biology and ecology of the target species, selectivity, fishing gears impacts, etc). After completing my PhD in 1997, I worked for IPIMAR as a fellowship researcher and became a permanent member of scientific staff in 1999. Currently, I am responsible for the management of the bivalve fishery in Portugal and I?m heading the Invertebrate Small-scale Fisheries Research Group of IPIMAR. I am author or co-author of nearly one hundred publications in international peer-reviewed journals. I am a member of the editorial board of Scientia Marina.
