Bachelor of Animal Science from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (1987), Master in Animal Science from the Federal University of Viçosa (1992) and PhD in Aquaculture from the São Paulo State University (UNESP) Júlio de Mesquita Filho (1998). Post Doctoral at the University of Arkansas, USA (2001-2002) and Higher Internship at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (2010). Accredited by the Graduate Program of Aquaculture Center at UNESP, professor advisor of Master and Doctoral students, as well as supervising Post-Doctoral Internships. Has experience in Animal Science, with an emphasis on fish nutrition, requirements and feed assessment for monogastric animals, mainly in the following subjects: evaluation of feed and additives for cut and ornamental fish and nutrient efficiencies of diets. He was editor of the book Nutrition of Non-Ruminan ets, 2014 (ed. FUNEP) and author of the following publications: Introduction to Fish Production - Questions and Answers, 2013; Introduction to the Commercial Production of Ornamental Fish, 2013 and Fish & Pay - Basic Principles of the Activity, 2017. He was principal investigator of the Thematic Project, financed by FAPESP, "Modeling the production and nutritional requirements of poultry and fish". He also coordinated research projects funded by SEAP and CNPq. He has developed several research projects with private national and international companies to assess the potential of products in animal feed. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This study aims to determine the response of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) to dietary lysine levels. Two experiments will be conducted in an indoor facility for 60 days. A total of 20 tanks of 1,500 litres, connected to a recirculation aquaculture system (RAS), will be used. The RAS will be equipped with a mechanical and biological filter, a heat exchanger and aeration system. In the fir…
This project aims to study protein and amino acids requirements, as well as the genetic potential of poultry and fishes, to update the Avinesp software with results generated with poultry, and to those generated with fishes, to develop an electronic spreadsheet to calculate their nutritional requirements. To meet these objectives, trials will be carried out to characterize the productive…
Among the techniques to determine nutritional requirement and ideal ratios among essential amino acids for fish, the purpose of the deletion method is to determine the ratios among the essential amino acids in a single experiment, maintaining stable all the variables related to the environment, lot of fish and diets. In addition, it is possible to estimate the amino acid requirement based…
This study aims to standardize absorptiometry technique by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and to apply it to model the main chemical constituents of fish during the development stages. The first study will be conducted to obtain the standard equation of the matching of the values estimated by DXA for pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The chemical …
