Khor Waiho
Researcher at the Institute of Tropical Aquaculture and Fisheries, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. Dr. Khor Waiho obtained his Ph.D. in Aquaculture from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (2016) and completed a 2-year postdoctoral (Biology, 2017-2019) at Shantou University, China. His current research focus includes the impact of climate change on crustacean growth and reproductive biology, population biology and fishery, and the aquaculture of economically important crustacean species.

Principal Investigator (Professor) Xiaohui Wang received his B.Eng. degree (Bioengineering) in 2004 from Beijing Technology and Business University. He got his PhD degree in Chemical Biology in 2010 from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) under the supervision of Prof. Xiaogang Qu. He was co-mentored by Associate Prof. Hang (Hubert) Yin (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the BioFrontiers Institute) and Distinguished Prof. Linda R. Watkins (Department of Psychology and Neuroscience and the Center for Neuroscience) at the University of Colorado at Boulder during his Post-Doc training. Since 2015, he starts his independent academic career.
Eric J Ward
I’m a statistician / quantitative ecologist at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NOAA) in Seattle and an affiliate professor at the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (SAFS) at the University of Washington. I work on a wide range of statistical problems – population dynamics, extinction risk, conservation genetics, fisheries stock assessment, reproductive success studies, etc. Most of the species I study are fish, but I also work with data from marine mammals, seabirds, and turtles. Much of my recent modeling interests have been pursuing applications of multivariate state-space time series and spatio-temporal models, isotope mixing models, and Bayesian model selection techniques.
Sercan Yapıcı
Sercan Yapıcı completed his PhD in 2017 with a thesis entitled "Determination of bio-ecological aspects and food interactions of Randall's threadfin bream (Nemipterus randalli) and common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) in the Gokova Bay”.
He is a researcher at Mugla Sıtkı Koçman University, Faculty of Fisheries since 2010. His main interest topics are non-native species in the Mediterranean Sea; risk analysis on marine bioinvasion.
Önder Yildirim
Dr. Onder Yildirim is a Professor in the Faculty of Fisheries at Muğla Sıtkı Kocman University, Muğla, Turkey. He gained his MSc degree, at Faculty of Marine Sciences, Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) Sürmene Faculty of Marine Science in Trabzon, and his PhD degree at Faculty of Fisheries, Ege University in Izmir. Dr. Yildirim has performed research on fish nutrition subjects for over 25 years.
Anastasija Zaiko
Dr. Anastasija Zaiko's major areas of expertise are in aquatic ecology and the development and implementation of molecular tools for monitoring and surveillance. She has held leading roles in many national and international research programmes, projects and field expeditions, conducting experimental and observational studies in aquatic ecosystems employing a range of different surveillance techniques (traditional and molecular). Dr. Zaiko is a co-founder and a lead scientist at Sequench Ltd, a professional laboratory specializing in molecular analyses, biosecurity and environmental consulting.
Matteo Zucchetta
Matteo Zucchetta obtained his PhD thesis entitled "Habitat distribution models for the management of fishery and conservation concern species in lagoon environment” at the University Ca’ Foscari Venice (Italy). He has previously covered the position of researcher University Ca’ Foscari Venice (Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics) and at the National Centre for Coastal Zone Protection and Characterization, Marine Climatology and for Operational Oceanography of the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA). Since 2020 he is a researcher of the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy. His work was carried out in the framework of different EU and Italian projects, and his main research topics are: 1) analysis of the spatial distribution of plant and animal species in coastal and transitional water bodies; 2) Community ecology in transitional water ecosystems; 3) Use of fish fauna assemblages as indicators of ecosystem ecological status; 4) Ecological models for food webs analysis; 5) Climate changes effects on aquatic ecosystems.
