Dr. Fran Saborido-Rey’s research focuses on various lines in the field of fishery ecology, particularly on reproductive ecology and conservation of reproductive potential, growth and bioenergetics, parental effects on recruitment and recruitment dynamics, interactions between environment and fisheries and their impact on life history traits, including changes in reaction norms and fishing-induced evolution, all applied to stock assessment and fishery management. Since 2012, he has been involved in a new line of research addressing the application of genomics in ecological studies, particularly after his three-year research stay at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). He graduated in Biology from the Autonomous University of Madrid in 1988 and obtained his PhD from the same university in 1994. Since 1989, he has been part of the Marine Research Institute of Vigo. In 1996–1997 he did a postdoctoral training in Bergen (Norway). Since 2000, he has been the head of the Fishery Ecology research unit. He is the editor of the journal Marine and Coastal Fisheries. He provides advice to various international organizations, such as ICES and NAFO, and he has carried out development cooperation activities in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Brazil, Morocco, Liberia, Colombia and Cape Verde.
