Abstract

The visiting researcher participates in four current research projects, which are part of cooperation between the visiting researcher's group (Renato A. M. Silvano, Laboratory of Human Ecology and Fish Ecology, Dep. of Ecology/ UFRGS) and the research group of the applying researcher (Alpina Begossi) in the Unicamp and UNISANTA, including the PPG ECOMAR and the non-governmental organization Fisheries and Food Institute (FIFO) (www.fisheriesandfood.org), both located in the UNISANTA, Santos, SP. Among these projects it is the thematic research project funded by FAPESP and coordinated by the applying researcher: "Ecology of artisanal fisheries in Paraty: Optimal foraging and ethnoecology". The visiting researcher will collaborate in the data analyses, preparation and writing of manuscripts for publication, planning of activities, besides helping the applying researcher in the supervision of graduate and post-graduate students. The visiting researcher has extensive expertise in ethnoecology and fisheries research and will strength this research area that has been developed by the research group of the applying researcher. The visiting researcher has also expertise in studies of fish ecology, which is a research area that complements the research area of the research group of the applying researcher. (AU)
