Back in Santa Barbara
Alba Aguion is conducting a second research stay at UCSB to work on her bioeconomic model
18/10/2019 - As part of her PhD, Alba Aguión is constructing a spatial bioeconomic model for the stalked barnacle fishery in Galicia (NW Spain). Last year, she visited the University of Oviedo to work with Antonella Rivera and conducted a 4-month research stay at the University of Santa Barbara California under the supervision of Chris Costello to […]

Preparation of PERCEBES meeting in 2020 to engage stakeholders
Researchers from the University of Vigo and Oviedo met last friday to discuss the best way to present the findings of the project to fishers and policymakers
01/03/2019 - The ultimate goal of research projects related to fisheries management such as PERCEBES is to produce evidence that can be used by decision makers in policies. However, policy making is a complex task influenced by many factors and often the amount of scientific evidence when decisions are taken is scarce. As a way to promote […]

Human Exclusion Experiment set up and running!
Alba´s PhD experiment aims to understand the effects of Stalked Barnacle harvesting on the productivity of the stands
01/08/2017 - Stalked Barnacles are crustaceans that inhabit the intertidal levels of exposed rocky shores and that form dense aggregations. During 2016 in Galicia (Spain) Stalked Barnacles reached a mean first sale price of 25 €/kg and a total mean value of 9 and a half million euros (source: www.pescadegalicia.gal); demonstrating a strong market demand for this resource […]

Eréndira Aceves-Bueno spends four weeks visiting us
FOL team has the chance to learn about TURF design and bio-economic modeling with Ere
19/07/2017 - Erendira Aceves-Bueno holds a PhD from the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management (University of California, Santa Barbara). During her PhD dissertation, she developed spatial bio-economic models to analyze the role of spillover and fishermen cooperation in the design of Territorial Use of Rights in Fisheries (TURFs). Eréndira is very interested in Galician fisheries and […]
