Dr. Wagner Valenti is a senior research scientist and professor in Sao Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil. At present, he is Executive Director of UNESP Inovation Agency and coordinates many research projects on sustainable and integrated aquaculture in the Aquaculture Center of UNESP. Wagner has served the aquaculture profession through teaching, RD and the development of national policies since 1981. He has published over 200 papers, books, book chapters and scientific articles on general aquaculture and freshwater prawn biology and culture, which is his principal area of scientific expertise. He has developed systems for hatchery and grow-out of Crustacean species, which has been used on farms in Brazil and other Latin America countries. In the past decade, he headed a multi-institutional research network to develop technology for producing a wild Amazonian species, Macrobrachium amazonicum, and as a result, such species has now been introduced in aquafarms in Brazil. Currently, he heads other research network to develop sustainability indicators to assess Brazilian aquaculture systems. He has been involved directly in the organization of numerous national and international conferences and has been selected as a keynote or plenary speaker on several occasions. He has managed, Ph.D. and MS graduate programs, technology transfer to the aquaculture industry and many research programs focusing on aquaculture and aquatic biology. He has been a member of the Regional Biology Council (CRB-1) and Aquaculture Committee of the National Scientific and Technological Council (CNPq), Brazil for several years. In addition, he has been enrolled with a Brazilian aquaculture policy for a long time. He has co-edited a landmark book on freshwater prawn farming published by Wiley-Blackwell and has developed revisions and editorial tasks for important international journals.

This study aims to evaluate environmental sustainability, the flow of greenhouse gases and the distribution of nutrients in the different compartments of three aquaculture systems in freshwater ponds. Species of commercial interest will be used as a model. They are cultivated in Brazil and intended for different markets. This study is part of a broad project that aims to develop an innova…
This project aims to improve the research facilities of the Campus do Litoral Paulista UNESP. Major repairs will take place at Crustacean Biology Laboratory, in three containers used for research in the Central of Laboratories and in fresh and salt water storage system. (AU)

Integrated farming is recognized as a conscious way of using natural resources in aquaculture, and rational use of energy is one of the main factors in increasing the sustainability of the production system. The input of energy is essential in the various systems, such as products called energy inputs and accumulates in the different compartments of the system. The understanding of the en…
Integrated farming systems are being considered as a way of increasing the sustainability of aquaculture. However, they can generate different types of nutrient accumulation according to the eating habits of each species in the nursery. It was observed that there is usually accumulation of nutrients in the benthic extract. Thus, in this work, the hypothesis that the efficiency of nitrogen…

The bycatch is one of the major problems of shrimp trawl fisheries since it accidentally catches thousands of tonnes of non-economic organisms returning them dead to the sea. This creates a major ecological imbalance in the exploited areas. On the other hand, this fishing reject can be an abundant source of protein that could add value to this reject and become a product of interest to th…
Ecosystem based management (EBM) has been proposed as an alternative decision making strategy that incorporates development and conservation issues. Ecological Aquaculture could fits in EBM. This internship project aims to develop a scientific discussion in the master's current project "Environmental Sustainability of lambari-da-mata-atlântica, Deuterodon iguape" under the entire context …
This project aims to test the hypothesis that the method of the profile of bacterial communities associated with the skin mucus of seahorses can be used as a tool for traceability. The industry of marine ornamental animals has grown in an uncontrolled and unsustainable way. The main cause is the large number of illegal, unregistered and unregulated fishing practices. There is practically …
