Research activities
Research activities focus on the field of Zoology and Marine Ecology with particular interest on marine animal taxa inhabiting the Mediterranean region.
Main research interests in:
- Systematic Zoology and Zoogeography with particular interest on alien species
- Reproductive Biology of Aquatic Animals focus mainly on the reproductive adaptations of Osteichthyes, Chondrichthyes, Crustacea and deep species in general.
- Population Dynamics and assessment studies of demersal species through the participation in international campaigns (MEDITS Mediteranean International Trawl Survey ) and national surveys (CAMPBIOL – landed on the biological sampling of demersal resources ; GRUND – National Group National Program demersal fisheries data collection)
- Research and development of new forms of “active recovery” in overfished species (i.e. Palinurus elephas restocking areas);
