Professor of Biological Sciences and Animal Science courses working in the area of #8203;#8203;Ecology and Conservation of Natural Resources at the Department of Biology and Animal Science, Faculty of Engineering of Ilha Solteira (FEIS) of the São Paulo State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP). Professor-Advisor at the Postgraduate Program in Biological Sciences - (Zoology), level 6 CAPES at the Institute of Biosciences, UNESP, Botucatu. Completion of Master's degree in 2009, Doctorate in 2011 and obtaining the title of Full Professor in 2022 from the São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP - Botucatu Campus). Coordinator of the Fish Ecology Laboratory (Pirá) and of the Fish Ecology Research Group (CNPq) of the Department of Biology and Animal Science - FEIS - UNESP. He conducts research in the areas of Fish Ecology, working mainly on the following topics: natural fish diet, ichthyofaunal survey, environmental influences of aquaculture systems, biological invasion, environmental influences of hydroelectric projects and fish parasitology. He recently made his greatest contribution in partnership with Dr. Lidiane Franceschini, our son Heitor.

Currently, national public policies encourage the substitution of extractive fisheries for aquaculture activities, whose annual growth rate in Brazilian territory is the highest among zootechnical activities. However, the implementation and management of this activity can influence the aquatic ecosystem, acting as a source of secondary energy through leftover rations, dead fish and metabo…

Invasive species are one of the main causes of the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services worldwide. Oreochromis niloticus is a native fish species from the African continent, but it was widely distributed across several continents and is considered a non-native invasive species in Brazil. Although O. niloticus is well established and commonly farmed in freshwater and brackish enviro…
Among human activities with a potential threat to aquatic biodiversity, dams stand out. This activity has been growing significantly, mainly in basins and rivers with hydroelectric potential in Brazil and can significantly affect fish assemblages, causing the introduction and facilitating the establishment of non-native species, in addition to other taxonomic and functional modifications.…
Arapaima gigas (pirarucu), a fish species native to the Solimões-Amazonas and Araguaia-Tocantins River basins in Brazil, is the largest freshwater bony fish from South America. Although it is heavily exploited economically, the species is still classified as "Data Deficient" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Recently, its occurrence was recorded for the upper Paraná River basin.…
The introduction of species outside their native range can culminate in processes of biological invasions, which can alter ecological relationships in the new areas of distribution. In the upper Paraná basin, there are ~ 74 species of non-native fish, with the record of the pirarucu Arapaima gigas being one of the most recent. Considering that knowledge about the effects of A. gigas invas…
The construction of reservoirs for the production of electricity is the activity with the greatest potential to cause structural changes in the ichthyofauna. Since such constructions have the potential to cause changes in the supply of food resources, studies that consider the trophic ecology of fish are of paramount importance to support environmental monitoring and management. Specifica…

In Brazil, a significant number of fish species are threatened with extinction, such as Myloplus tiete, popularly known as "pacu rosa", "pacu prata" or "pacu peva". Endemic to Brazil, it is currently restricted to a few locations in the Paraná River. This species is classified as "Endangered" and its biology is little known. This proposal aims to evaluate the trophic ecology of M. tiete a…
Among the human activities with a potential threat to aquatic biodiversity, dams stand out. These undertakings are of great importance for electricity generation in Brazil and can significantly affect fish assemblages, possibly causing changes in functional diversity. Thus, studies that integrate functional diversity metrics are recommended for assessing the influence of human actions on …
One of the threats to biodiversity is biological invasions, which can result in losses in community structure and important ecosystem services, harming ecological and economic sectors. In Neotropical reservoirs, there are important knowledge gaps about the effects of invasions by non-native species, such as Geophagus sveni and Plagioscion squamosissimus, on fish assemblages in Southeast B…
