Researcher

Rodrigo Ozorio (RO) has more than 20 years of experience in Aquaculture, special emphasis on the fish nutrition. He holds MSc and PhD degrees from Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR), The Netherlands. RO is the expert in the nutritional dynamics of fish and the economic potential of new aquaculture species based on a set of husbandry and physiological criteria. He participated in 15 national and international projects (overall budget of 2.0 million euros), including four projects as scientific leader dealing with new aquaculture systems and sustainable alternative for intensive marine aquaculture. He supervised 8 PhD theses and 15 MSc theses and he authored over 56 scientific publications.

The project strengthens the resilience of Atlantic aquaculture to climate change through ecosystem-based, technologically proven or in-development solutions (IMTA, FBNM, halophytes and others). Evaluates the vulnerability of aquaculture species and environments to changes in temperature, salinity and water quality, ensuring the sustainability of the sector. Promotes climate adaptation and risk prevention through innovative methodologies and restoration of key ecosystems, strengthening climate governance and participation.
The results include a data lake with climate projections, interactive vulnerability maps, adaptive management protocols
and an early warning system for diseases. Transnational cooperation will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and the
development of scalable solutions that boost the environmental and economic sustainability of the aquaculture sector.
