Despite the limited development of fish reproduction physiology in our country, it is currently a globally relevant topic due to the increasing need for understanding basic aspects to be applied in fish farming. Studying mechanisms such as nutrition and reproduction, particularly focusing on the kisspeptinergic system, is crucial for optimizing fish farming productivity. Additionally, leveraging next-generation sequencing technologies and bioinformatic tools has allowed significant progress in genomic research, offering insights into species development and productivity enhancement. Recently, we successfully sequenced the black flounder genome and initiated comparative biology studies, showcasing the potential of these approaches in advancing our understanding and application in fish physiology.
The seminar will be held on April 30, at 13:30, at the University of Algarve, Gambelas Campus - Complexo Pedagógico, Anfiteatro D, and also online, via Zoom.
Participation is free but mandatory to register.
