Fernando is from Campina Grande-PB, Brazil and holds a degree in Biological Sciences by the State University of Paraíba. Got his master degree from PPGEC/UEPB, investigating the morphological variability of sagittal otoliths of Atherinella brasiliensis between a positive and a hypersaline estuary. Currently, his PhD research is in progress at PPGEC/UEPB through an academic exchange, sponsored by CAPES/LEP-UEPB in collaboration with CIIMAR. His study analyzes the microchemical profiles of Centropomus undecimalis and Lutjanus jocu otoliths, in estuarine lagoons from Paraíba coastline, which will help delimiting nursery areas and their contribution to the fish stocks in that region.
