Activities
I am a zooplankton ecologist with special interest
in plankton production. I currently investigate the pelagic
trophic web, from
primary producers to fish larvae, by means of integrative taxonomy
(combining optic

and molecular tools),
and the effect of eutrophication on the plankton
production of the Spanish Mediterranean and Mar Menor coastal lagoon.
Since 2010, I participate in the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework
Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC), providing advice with respect to biodiversity, trophic
webs and eutrophication.
Sea regions of study
Alboran Sea
Balearic Sea
Skills
My research is markedly
multidisciplinary, including ecophysiology and trophodynamics of planktonic organisms, biological oceanography, active
carbon fluxes, population dynamics in relation to global change, and the optimization and application of new biochemical and molecular techniques in marine biology. I developed a new
enzymatic index of zooplankton production (AARS method, Yebra & Hernández-León, 2004) that facilitates the study of plankton ecology at oceanographic scale.
