Biography

Miguel José Teodoro Correia started his research career in 2003 when he obtains the BSc degree from the Universidade do Algarve, addressing cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) aquaculture & husbandry. From this study, he published 1 paper as first author. Later in 2006, he graduated in MSc at the Universidade de Lisboa, studying the proper feed for juvenile cuttlefish in laboratory. From this research, he published 2 papers as first author. He started his PhD in 2009 obtained the degree in 2015 with honors (Summa Cum Laude) from Universidade do Algarve. His PhD research addressed the conservation and mitigation actions of 2 seahorse species (Hippocampus guttulatus and Hippocampus hippocampus). More than 400 hours were spent in underwater research. This work resulted in 6 papers as first author. Besides the scientific dissemination, this researcher promoted innumerous media releases, both nationally and internationally, that aimed to raise awareness regarding marine conservation using seahorses as a flagship species. This researcher is currently working at Project Seahorse, University of British Columbia, Canada (http://www.projectseahorse.org) as research associate since 2022 to date. He is a member of the IUCN seahorse, pipefish and seadragon specialist group where he acts as focal point for field conservation (https://iucn-seahorse.org). This researcher has published a total of 30 peer-reviewed papers, 3 conference papers and he co-supervised PhD, MSc students and Undergraduate students. He participated in a total of 13 Research Projects in different capacities. He was also a co-founder of SHRIMPPO – a start-up company that breeds aquatic species for the ornamental market.
