DR. S. ZANUY
Research Professor at the Institute of Aquaculture “Torre de la Sal” (IATS) member of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Doctor in Biological Sciences Degree by the University of Barcelona. During more than 43 years my research has been focused on Fish Reproductive Physiology and Endocrinology mainly focused the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)a marine teleost fish species very important in Aquaculture. The goal of my research has been to generate relevant basic knowledge and to develop technologies quickly transferables to the ever growing aquaculture industry. Special interest has been focused in the study and control of puberty, gonad maturation and spawning. It is also of my interest the integration of environmental and physiological signals at the brain level and the neuroendocrine regulation of fish reproductive processes. All as an instrument to understand basic mechanisms in vertebrate reproduction and to develop environmental protocols and hormonal therapies for the stimulation and control of fish reproduction in aquaculture.
