I am a marine biologist with particular interests in fish nutrition and life food chains I have been working within the aquaculture industry since 2000, soon after finishing my Degree in Marine Biology. My main interests where the economic aspects of the industry, environmental impacts in the ecosystem; resolution of conflicts between different users and the implementation of the European Directives. Working for the Regional Government of Madeira, specifically in the Aquaculture Division, I am responsible for analyzing all the private licensing processes regarding marine aquaculture and to coordinate the reports and research projects related with environmental impacts of aquaculture and to actively contribute for the implementation of the national legislation regarding aquaculture and environmental impacts. Recently my research has been focused in microalgae bioactive compounds and the potentiality of improving cultures in hatchery facilities.
