Resumo da atividade

Research interests: marine and estuarine ecology and ecotoxicology applied to environmental quality assessment and ecosystem functioning; effects of pharmaceuticals on estuarine biota, bioaccumulation potential and population-level effects; fish and invertebrates as indicators of habitat quality, multi-taxa multi-biomarker response; biological indices as assessment tools for water quality assessment.
