The 1st International Online Conference on Fishes

Department of Biology, Faculty of Marine and Environmental Sciences and INMAR, University of Cádiz, Puerto Real, Spain;
José A. Muñoz-Cueto is a full professor of Zoology at the University of Cádiz (UCA), where he leads the "Fish Physiology and Pathology (RNM-216)" research group. His research focuses on the neuroanatomy, reproductive neuroendocrinology, chronobiology and environmental physiology of fish species that are important for aquaculture, such as sea bream, sea bass and sole. More recently, his team is also researching circadian transcriptomics in echinoderms. This research activity has enabled Prof. Muñoz-Cueto to participate in 26 competitive research projects as PI, funded by the EU, national and regional programmes, and to supervise 12 PhD theses and 10 postdoctoral researchers. He has been an invited professor at University College London (UK), the University of Rennes 1, the University Pierre et Marie Curie Paris VI (France), the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the Catholic University of the North (Chile), the University of Havana (Cuba), the University of San Carlos (Guatemala), and the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (Kazakhstan). He has also taken on management roles at the UCA, serving as General Coordinator of CEIMAR, as well as Rector’s Delegate (Vice-Rector) and General Coordinator of the European University of the Seas (SEA-EU).

Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Federal University of Santa Maria, Santa Maria RS, Brazil;
Bernardo Baldisserotto is a full professor at the Federal University of Santa Maria, South Brazil. His research focuses on physiology and pharmacology of aquatic animals, mainly fish. His projects are related to the effects of essential oils on anesthesia and growth of fish and crustaceans, as well as to prevent/treating bacterial infection in fish.

Laboratório de Aquacultura da Escola de Veterinária da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Av. Antônio Carlos, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil;
Ronald Kennedy Luz is a full professor of Aquaculture at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. His research focuses on physiology, reproduction, larviculture, animal welfare; live fish transport, and production systems with neotropical freshwater fishes.

Ruđer Bošković Institute, Bijenička 54, Zagreb, Croatia;
Dr. Tin Klanjšček is a Senior Scientist and Head of the Laboratory for Informatics and Environmental Modelling at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Croatia. He holds an MSc in Physics from the University of Zagreb and earned a PhD in Biological Oceanography through a joint program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), followed by postdoctoral training at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). His research integrates complex systems modelling, focusing on Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory, ecosystem dynamics, and climate change. Dr. Klanjšček has served as PI on ten projects and collaborated numerous others, has co-authored 55 publications with 2,000+ citations and an h-index of 20. He teaches three doctoral courses in Oceanology at the University of Zagreb and has successfully mentored seven PhD students and three postdoctoral researchers. In addition to his research and teaching, Dr. Klanjšček is active in science policy and administration, serving as the Secretary of the European branch of the International Society for Ecological Modelling, on the editorial board of Ecological Modelling and MDPI Fishes, on the managing board of RBI, and as a member of Croatian Technical Working Group for climate change mitigation.
