Scientific expedition
Activity description | Institution / Organization | |
---|---|---|
2007/04 - Current | Demersal surveys - Since 2007 I have participated in more than 35 research cruises during the past 16 years, some of which as the leading scientist onboard. During these longline demersal surveys I have acquired a vast experience in taxonomy (especially for deep-water sharks), sampling and fish biology. Work onboard consist in collection of fishing effort, biological sampling, tagging, collection of genetic material, water for eDNA, CTD, deep-sea imaging. | IMAR - Instituto do Mar, Portugal |
2022/05 - 2023/06 | Fishing experiments on commercial fishing boat - during the SOSTubaProf project we conducted fishing experiments on gear selectivity for deep-water sharks to test gear catchability both on shark bycatch and target bonyfish species. During the experiments, it was also tested the survival of deep-water sharks using electronic tagging, biological sampling, collection of genetic material and water for eDNA. | IMAR - Instituto do Mar, Portugal |
2012 - 2012 | CoralFISH - Fishing experiments using longlines in Ionic Sea, Greece. My participation consisted in the collection of genetic material of different species of dee-sea fishes to use in my PhD project. | HCMR Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, Greece |
2011 - 2012 | DOSMARES - Deep-sea fishing expedition using trawling in Blanes Canyon, Spain, Mediterranean. My participation consisted in the identification of deep-water shaks and collection of genetic material for my PhD project. Participation in 3 legs of the expedition. | Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Spain |
