User Training Course, Canadian Aquaculture Institute.
1996 – Training in Neuroendocrinology techniques at the Department of Biology,
University of Arizona (U.S.A.) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Matthew Grober
(Currently at Georgia State Univ., Atlanta, U.S.A.), 1-21 February. Techniques learned
include: blood sampling from caudal vein and by cardiac puncture; transcardiac
perfusion for the fixation of brain tissues; microsurgery techniques to castrate fish and
to place peritoneal silastic implants of steroid hormones, including suturing; anesthesia
using different anesthetics (MS222; clove oil); intraventricular (brain), peritoneal and
muscular injections of steroids; euthanasia methods.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
1. Behavioural endocrinology, with special focus on two main areas: (a) the social
modulation of steroid hormones, forebrain neuropeptides and behaviour (using animal
models and human subjects); and (b) the neuroendocrine mechanisms of phenotypic
plasticity (in particular the expression of alternative reproductive tactics in fish).
2. Fish welfare: motivational needs in fish; cognitive abilities relevant for its moral
status; physiological and behavioural indicators of welfare in fish; non-invasive
techniques to assay stress hormones from fish in the wild or in captivity (aquaculture
and/or public aquaria settings).
