Vânia Freitas is a researcher at CIIMAR, holding a Ph.D. in Ecology from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and a B.S. in Biology from the University of Porto. Her research centers on the ecology of shallow coastal and estuarine ecosystems. She conducts environmental monitoring and modeling to evaluate the impact of stressors, including those driven by humans, on habitat quality and species performance. Much of her work involves assessing growth conditions for juvenile fish in nursery areas. Additionally, she’s delved into bivalve physiology, employing predictive models to forecast growth under changing environmental conditions, to support the aquaculture industry.
