José Fernando López-Olmeda, PhD in Biology (2009), is a senior researcher at the Department of Physiology of the University of Murcia (Spain). His research line is focused on fish circadian biology and the role of biological clocks in the stress response, metabolism, reproduction and behavior. He has expertise on a broad number of fish species such as tilapia, zebrafish, medaka, goldfish, tench, sole, sea bass and gilthead sea bream.
Francisco Javier Sánchez-Vázquez, PhD in Biology (1995), is full Professor of Physiology at the University of Murcia, Faculty of Biology (Campus Espinardo, Murcia, Spain). He is the head of the "Fish Chronobiology" group and has broad expertise on fish feeding and reproduction rhythms. His research activity is focused on fish species with interest in aquaculture, such as sea bass, sea bream, Senegalese sole and tilapia as well as basic models such as zebrafish.
Rodrigo Fortes-Silva, PhD in Animal Science (2005), is full Professor of Aquaculture at the Federal University of Viçosa, Faculty of Animal Science, Brazil. Fortes-Silva does research in fish nutrition and Aquaculture with relevancy on feeding behavior of tropical fish as tilapia, tambaqui and Arapaimas gigas.
