Biography
Jacopo Aguzzi has more than 15 years of research experience in integrating biological rhythms to fishery management. The overarching goal of his research is to relate the presence (and behavior) of marine species to overall changes in sampled richness and biodiversity at different temporal scales. Activity rhythms characterization is pursued with the use of new robotic monitoring technologies, to expand the baseline knowledge on species life-traits and ecological niches with novel sensors-oriented approaches. His research is presently focussing on the establishment of best monitoring practices to extract ecological indicators with fixed and mobile platforms. The use of cabled observatories, crawlers, ROVs, AUVs and neutrino telescopes imaging is carried out to gather intensive spatio-temporal data picturing animal movements and interactions into oceanic three-dimensional water column and seabed scenarios. To date, he participated in 154 research articles, 6 book chapters, and in more than 170 National and International conferences. He is manager for the “ecological monitoring” and “citizen science” of the EMSO Testing-Site OBSEA (www.obsea.es). Between 2019-2019, he has been Scientific Advisor for the Ocean Network Canada (ONC) for the Section “Life in the Environments of the Northeast Pacific Ocean and Salish Sea”. He is presently participating in different international Committees-Bodies, as for example, the Working Group on Nephrops Surveys (WGNEPS) of the International Council for the Exploitation of the Sea (ICES); the Committee for the Protection of Mediterranean deep areas managed by the Agence des Aires Marines Protégées of France (AFFAM) from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the International Network for Scientific Investigation of Deep-Sea Ecosystems Community (InDEEP).
