​

I have interest in the area of aquaculture, as well as in the management and conservation of aquatic organisms, in especially neotropical fauna. My focus has been neotropical fish with great potential for aquaculture, but also with species of great importance to the aquatic ecosystem. I have applied tools of the molecular biology, especially microsatellites, transcriptome, Next Generation Sequencing and environmental DNA.

RESEARCH

This project will perform genotyping of aquaculture populations Colossoma macropomum in Brazil. The molecular marker used for genotyping are microsatellites - SSR specific to species. The information generated in this project aims to propose measures to implement a breeding program for tambaqui.

This project aims to identify candidate genes for differentiation and determination sex in Arapaima gigas. The transcriptome were performed gonads and brain (male and female) of adult specimens of pirarucu. This project has collaboration of Xiphophorus Genetic Stock Center (coordinated by Dr. Walter's) from Texas State University.

Financial support: FAPEAM
