Ph.D. Fisheries and Aquaculture Bioeconomics

I am from Lima, Peru, and thanks to my career I have been able to know many places and live in some of them, such as Ensenada (Baja California, México), Bilbao (Basque Country), La Paz (Baja California Sur, México). I received a BSc in Fishery Biology at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM). After that, I worked at the Instituto del Mar del Perú (IMARPE) from 2010 - 2012 and 2014 - 2018 as a fishery scientist. I was researching and working on population dynamics, stock assessment models of straddling and highly migratory species such as dolphinfish (Coryphaena hyppurus), horse mackerel (Trachurus murphyi), Pacific chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus), in the development and improvement of software tools for stock assessment and technical reports. Also, I was part of the Peruvian anchovy (Engraulis ringens) stock assessment group.

In 2014 I received a MSc in Marine Ecology at CICESE. In August 2022, I received a Ph.D. at the Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas (CICIMAR, Mexico), where I was researching on the bio-economic impact assessment of different management strategies in the Peruvian industrial fisheries.
