Alexandra Silva

My research focuses on population dynamics and stock assessment of small and medium pelagic species (e.g. sardine, chub mackerel and anchovy). In recent years I became interested in ecosystem topics, such as trophic interactions, interactions of fisheries with seabirds/marine mammals, ecosystem modelling, ecosystem approach to fisheries management. I provide scientific advice to fisheries managers and stakeholders; co-supervise students and post-docs; published more than 40 articles.
