Research Interest : Sustainable resource Engineering & Algal biotechnology and Applied water resource conservation

Research Interest: The Applied research is devoted to the study of nutrition and growth of aquatic species of commercial interest (shrimp, sea urchin, fish) in confined conditions, inland and off-shore. Connected to the research on the feeding of species of commercial interest is the study of polymer matrices for the manufacturing of functional pellets. Applied research covers activities relating to:
• Formulation of biopolymer matrix based pellets for animal feeding. Polysaccharides obtained from renewable sources are used as binders for the manufacturing of pellets to be employed for feeding of aquatic species of commercial interest.
• Use of biopolymer matrices added with bioactive molecules (edible coating) for the preservation of animal products. Polysaccharides obtained from renewable sources are used, also with the addition of functional biomolecules, for the shelf-life extension of fillets of trout Oncorhynchus mykiss.
Another field of applied  research based on the results deriving from the study of  estradiol-receptor interaction in Octopus vulgaris gave rise to the realization of an environmental  biosensor  for pollutant detection.

Research Interest: Behaviour ecology: Sexual selection, sex role reversal and some feeding, reproductive, mating behavior of seahorses and pipefish are particularly interesting in my team, Biodiversity of rare fishes: The resources of rare fishes have been changed a lot along the China’s coast, our work aimed to set up effective bases and strategy to conserve them, Aquaculture: Seahorse reproduction and juvenile seahorses survivorship are the key study throughout the world,we focused on this field for many years.High demand for them in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) makes us feel very necessary to continue this work.
