Ermelinda Prato is researcher at the Water Research Institute of the National Research Council (Italy) and has consolidated experience in the study of the nutritional quality of fishery and aquaculture products (fish, molluscs, crustacean, echinoderms) from different productive sectors (marine, inland waters, lagoon, intensive aquaculture). Her studies on fishery and aquaculture products are aimed at: • Characterizing their nutritional quality in relation to the environment, different capture/rearing systems, feed formulations, and industrial processing; • Evaluating sensory quality; • Evaluating the global quality and safety of products; • Orienting producers towards sustainable and valuable productions; • Exploring novel, sustainable sources of nutrients and functional molecules from aquatic ecosystems. She has written more than 160 scientific papers in ISI journals and non-ISI journals, around 30 oral communications, and 70 posters in international and national congress.
