3.6  Research interests

 

 

My research most focus on quantitative analysis and assessment of exploited fish stocks and fisheries based on collection, management and regional analysis of fisheries. This include undertake analyses and interpretation of biological and ecological data and fisheries statistics (time series analyses- statistical analyses of data collected for the assessment of commercial fisheries) and provide scientific support for enahnce regional management with potential effect on policy advice (namelly Marine Policy Strategy that is mandatory by EU commision). My research aims provide a sound basis for assessing the vulnerability of coastal fisheries and marine ecosystems/ecology to climate changes and fisheries by understand the status of the fisheries and linked fluctuation in fisheries time series with ecology and environmental interactions. Predicting the effect of short- to long-term climatic changes on the productivity, fisheries dynamics and distribution of coastal stocks and fisheries is also one of the main objectives. Therefore, my current research is expected to assist the development of the national strategies for articulate European and National, CFP, IWRM and ICZM (that highly the strategic importance of coastal areas) through a participatory approach promoting an active role of water managers, social stakeholder and water resources end-users, as water resources are recurrently and chronically exchanged between inland and coastal water systems. The interdisciplinary character of my research interests initiates constant collaboration with scientists from computer, natural and life sciences. My research recently is moving for the effect of jellifish blooms in fisheries.
