Nicola Lago is a Master's Doctor with research experience connected to the presence of the Atlantic Blue Crab, Callinectes sapidus, in the Mediterranean. In recent years, studies undertaken with research institutes have had the ultimate aim of laying the foundations for a future biocontrol of the Atlantic blue crab in Italian transitional waters: monitoring, collection, and processing of blue crab individuals for the study of the dynamics of the population of the species; experimentation and evaluation of new gear for more selective and efficient fishing compared to traditional systems; and development of standard operating procedures for food valorization through the production of soft crabs from individuals of the Atlantic blue crab, Callinectes sapidus. He currently works at the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie in Legnaro (PD), Italy.
