Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP). Campus Baixada Santista. Instituto do Mar (IMar) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Holds a bachelor's degree in Oceanography and both a master's and a Ph.D. in Aquaculture. Completed two postdoctoral fellowships funded by CNPq: a junior postdoctoral fellowship (20122013) and an industrial postdoctoral fellowship (20182019). Since 2013, he has been a faculty member at the Federal University of São Paulo (Baixada Santista Campus), where he is affiliated with the Graduate Programs in Marine and Coastal Biodiversity and Ecology (PPGBEMC) and Bioproducts and Bioprocesses (PPGBIOBIO). Has professional experience as head of the production sector in a marine shrimp hatchery and as production manager in grow-out shrimp farms. His expertise in aquaculture includes water quality, maturation, larviculture, nursery, and grow-out phases of marine shrimp. His research focuses on two main areas: (1) development of systems and technologies for aquatic organism farming, with an emphasis on biofloc technology; and (2) application of microorganisms in aquaculture, investigating functional and ecological aspects through metagenomic approaches. Former vice-coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Bachelor's Program in Marine Science and Technology, and currently serves as associate director of the Institute of the Sea at UNIFESP.

Aquaculture has evolved to culture systems that produce less effluent and are less susceptible to pathogens. One example is the Biofloc Technology where dense microbial communities, which grow as microbial flocs (called bioflocs), control the ammonia generated during the production process. Although microorganisms are important to nutrient cycling, the current management practices can cre…
The Biofloc Technology (BFT system) is an intensive production system used for the culture of shrimp and fish. In this type of culture, dense microbial communities, which grow in the form of microbial flocs (bioflocs), are manipulated to control the ammonia released by the cultured organisms. This method of controlling nitrogen compounds allows cultivation to be carried out with minimal w…

The use of microbial-based systems to culture aquatic organisms has increased in the last years. Inthese systems, e.g. Recirculation Aquaculture System (RAS) and the Biofloc Technology (BFT),stocking densities are high and water exchange is low. Water quality is controlled by microorganismsthat occur in great quantity and diversity. Although beneficial species are present in the system,pa…
