Professor of the Biological Sciences and Animal Science courses working in the area of Ecology and Conservation of natural resources at the Department of Biology and Animal Science, Faculty of Engineering of Ilha Solteira (FEIS) of the Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP). Professor-Advisor at the Graduate Program in Biological Sciences - (Zoology), CAPES level 6 at the Institute of Biosciences, UNESP, Botucatu. Completion of Masters in 2009, Doctorate in 2011 and obtaining the title of Associate Professor in 2022 by Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP - Campus Botucatu). Coordinator of the Fish Ecology Laboratory (Pirá) and the Fish Ecology Research Group (CNPq) of the Department of Biology and Animal Science FEIS UNESP. Develops research in the areas of Ecology and Parasitology of fish, working mainly on the following topics: natural diet of freshwater fish, ichthyofaunistic survey, impacts caused by fish farming in net cages, invasive fish species and their impacts, hydroelectric projects and fish parasitology freshwater fish. Recently, he made his greatest contribution in partnership with 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…

Fish correspond to the group of vertebrates with the greatest diversity of parasitic organisms, presenting host-parasite associations with different taxa, including crustaceans. Among the parasitic crustaceans, the Branchiura, Copepoda, and Isopoda groups stand out, in which many species parasitize fish. Parasitic crustaceans are transmitted directly to the host, is frequently found on th…
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.…
The Upper Paraná basin has the largest number of dams in South America, which causes changes in the hydrodynamics of rivers and obstruction of fish migratory routes. These dams provide areas for the implementation of cage fish farming systems, which can cause environmental influences related to the entry of organic matter into the aquatic ecosystem. Assessing the influence of fish farms o…
The feeding activity of fish is influenced by intrinsic factors, such as morphological and physiological changes throughout their development, as well as by extrinsic factors, such as environmental variations, whether natural or anthropogenic (e.g. cage fish farming systems). Thus, the present work aims to test the hypothesis that cage fish farms promote changes in the diet of the non-nat…
Cage fish farming in a freshwater environment is one of the main zootechnical activities in Brazil and has great potential to significantly impact aquatic ecosystems. Thus, the present proposal aims to test the hypothesis that there is a difference in dietary aspects of T.nematurus between areas used by aquaculture systems and areas free of this anthropic influence in a Neotropical reserv…

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…
Evidence indicates that cage fish farms in freshwater promote variations in environmental conditions, directly interfering with the foraging behavior of wild fish. However, the biological effects of the consumption of fish crop residues on the wild ichthyofauna of Brazilian reservoirs are little known. This proposal aims to evaluate the influence of cage Fish farms on the trophic ecology …
The production of fish from Brazilian aquaculture totaled 507.12 thousand tons in 2016, with Oreochromis niloticus being the main species produced, with 239.09 thousand tons or 47.1% of the total production. Popularly known as the Nile tilapia, O. niloticus, belongs to the family Cichlidae (Perciformes). This species presents rapid growth, late sexual maturity, high prolificacy, omnivorou…
