I have more than 15 years of research experience in bivalve aquaculture (oysters, clams and razor clams). I have worked as researcher in academia and also as Research and Development engineer in private hatcheries. My research focus on the development of hatchery and nursery rearing for bivalves; embryological and larval development of bivalves; the impact of microbiology on hatchery culture of bivalves; nutritional and biochemical studies of diferent phases of bivalve culture; and bivalve selective breeding.
