I work in the field of Aquaculture and Aquatic Organism Production, focusing on the development of intensive and sustainable farming systems for native and exotic species of aquaculture interest. My research mainly addresses fish nutrition, physiology, metabolism, and zootechnical performance, evaluating innovative feeding strategies such as the use of essential oils, alternative ingredients, and functional feeds to improve growth, intestinal health, and animal welfare. I have a strong interest in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), biofloc technology, and aquaponics, investigating the effects of stocking density, water quality, and management practices on growth, oxidative stress, hematological parameters, blood biochemistry, and organ histology. I also conduct studies on reproduction, larviculture, nursery, and grow-out phases, aiming to understand and optimize the complete life cycle of species such as tambaqui, Nile tilapia, and other Neotropical fishes. My academic interests further include feeding behavior, nutritional efficiency, environmental sustainability of aquaculture, and the integration of biointensive systems, with the goal of generating applied knowledge that supports efficient, economically viable, and environmentally responsible aquaculture production.
