Quiénes Somos

La actividad docente y de investigación las ha llevado a cabo dentro del área de la Biología Marina Experimental y en particular en el campo de la Ecofisiología aplicada a organismos de interés pesquero y acuícola.

Ha formado 49 estudiantes de licenciatura y 38 de posgrado. A la fecha ha publicado 186 trabajos en revistas con factor de impacto referentes a distintos aspectos de la fisiología de crustáceos, moluscos y peces.

Como producto de los trabajos realizados en el pulpo Octopus maya hoy en día se cuenta 2 patentes y una tecnología base para su cultivo, misma que se encuentra en proceso de transferencia a una cooperativa de pescadores en retiro en la comunidad de Sisal, Yucatán.

Respecto de conferencias, ha impartido en diversas Instituciones en América y Europa referentes al uso de la Ecofisiología aplicada como una herramienta base para establecer las condiciones más adecuadas para diversas especies de interés para la acuacultura.
