Since 1994, Pierre’s research is dedicated to genetics and genomics of bivalves. Most of his research is connected with selective breeding and conservation issues and has led to over 170 publications to date, resulting in his designation in 2015 as the most productive author in a bibliometric analysis of oyster research worldwide.

Olivier’s research focuses on the development of decision-support approaches and tools for the management of coastal and marine resources, including ecological-economic modeling, and the economics of ecosystem-based approaches to natural resources management. Key areas of application include the regulation of commercial and recreational fisheries, aquaculture, multiple ecosystem uses, chronic and accidental pollution of coastal waters, as well as biodiversity conservation policies including Marine Protected Areas.

Nicolas is a specialist in spatial statistics in fisheries sciences, notably using all kind of direct scientific observations (acoustic, trawl, GPS, CUFES, satellite, etc). He graduated in fisheries sciences (1991) and got a PhD in geostatistics at the School of Mines in Paris (1997) and spent few years there as a researcher involved in European projects using design-based and model-based approaches in fisheries science. He moved to IRD in 2004 where he has been developing new skills in movement ecology and graphs theory. He is member of the board of the French Fisheries Society (Association Française d’Halieutique – AFH) since its creation in 1994.

His areas of expertise include fisheries management, economic impact assessment of management measures, ecosystem based fisheries management and sustainability economics.
Research scientist, INRAE UR EABX (France).
Hilaire Drouineau develops models to study the impact of global change on fish and aquatic ecosystems, especially on diadromous species such as the European eel and on food webs. He uses these models both to study the functioning of those systems and to support their sustainable management.
Antonio Figueras

Flavia Lucena Fredou
Recife, Brazil

Docent at University Savoie Mont Blanc (USMB) affiliated to the Alpine Center for Research on Lake Ecosystem and Food Webs (CARRTEL).
Victor investigates the responses of aquatic freshwater ecosystems to anthropogenic forcings (mainly biological invasion, climate change and organic pollutants) using modeling approaches and field experiments. He has special interests on trophic ecology to determine how species interact within food webs and how stressors affect species interactions.

Research scientist, Wageningen Economic Research (Gravenhage, The Netherlands).
Katell has developed bio-economic models of fisheries to perform impact evaluations for 13 years and is currently focussing on human behaviour, how fishers make decisions and what influences those. Her interest lies mainly in multi-disciplinary collaborations to account for the complexity of human nature in marine models and management advice.
Pauline Kamermans
Wageningen UR, The Netherlands

Research scientist, French Research Institute for Development (IRD), MARBEC Laboratory (Sète, France).
My research focuses on assessing the effects of different forms of spatial and non-spatial fisheries management on marine populations. Using the lenses of meta-population modeling, experimental marine ecology, species distribution modeling, analysis of fisheries catch-effort data and oceanography, I am looking at how marine spatial management relates to sustainability, conservation and community structure of marine populations with distinct dispersal and reproductive potentials. Recent work has included studies on the implications of offshore marine protected areas for mobile demersal and pelagic species, as well as work on tropical tuna purse seine fisheries in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. I am also studying the effects of oceanographic processes on temporal and spatial patterns of larval settlement.

Dr. Roy Koushik is an assistant professor and deputy head of laboratory of nutrition in the University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice, Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters. He is a fisheries and aquaculture professional by training. He works on aquatic animal nutrition and bioenergetics, nutritional ecology of freshwaters, nutrient use efficiency in pond and multitrophic systems, eco-intensification of pond farming, valorization of wastes and invasive species, climate change and fishing effects, reproductive phenology, aquaculture-environment interactions, fish farm-to-fork nutritional quality.

Professor at Federal University Sergipe in the Fishery and Aquaculture Department (Sergipe, Brazil).
Alex is a multidisciplinary researcher focused on dynamics of coastal food webs, including multiples issues of the ecology species, fishing impacts, ecosystem management of the small-scale fisheries. In addition, he also has experience in stock assessment with an emphasis on data-poor approaches.

Rich Little is a Senior Research Scientist at CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere (Hobart, Australia).
His research specialises in modelling population dynamics, economics, and management decision-making in natural resource and marine environmental science. Much of this work has focused on the Coral Reef Finfish Fishery of the Great Barrier Reef, where he has worked on the development of a computer-based decision support tool called ELFSim. He has published work widely on modelling tradeable permit markets for fisheries quota, artificial intelligence mechanisms (Bayesian Belief Networks) for simulating fishing behaviour, and the economics of marine protected areas. His current research interest has focused on the use of computer-based biophysical process-models for financial risk management purposes, and he is also currently associated with Marine Visual Technologies, an initiative interested in developing solutions to support sustainable fisheries management using advanced computation techniques.
