About

My research focuses mainly on the different aspects of biology and ecology of marine bivalves that include: age and growth, reproduction, feeding physiology and possibilities of introducing new bivalve species in aquaculture. Recently, I started extending my research to the marine trophic ecology and demersal fisheries, mostly beam trawl fisheries. I also dedicate lot of time for science popularization with aim to increase ocean literacy among kids and youngsters.
