Research interests
Fish stress physiology, neurophysiology, fish health and welfare, mainly regarding the neuroendocrine and behavioral responses to different factors including both aquaculture (handling, poor water quality, stock density, etc.) and environmental (temperature, salinity, pH, pollutants, etc.) stressors. Also interested in fish behavioral phenotypes and their relationship with stress- and disease-resilience.
