Ram贸n Filgueira grew up in Galicia, Spain, where seafood has dominated the economy, culture and diet of the Galician people for centuries. He completed his undergraduate degree in Marine Sciences at the University of Vigo in Spain. He then went on to complete a Master diploma in Environmental Management and Sustainable Development at the University of Valencia. Ram贸n obtained his PhD in Marine Sciences from University of Vigo on the ecophysiology of mussels. In 2008, he came to Canada for a postdoctoral fellowship in ecosystem modelling at 鲍鱼tv University. In 2012, Ram贸n began a postdoctoral fellowship at the Gulf Fisheries Centre, Fisheries and Oceans Canada. There he developed ecosystem models of aquaculture sites that could be used for marine management decision-making. Ram贸n joined the Marine Affairs Program at 鲍鱼tv University in March 2016. Since then, Ram贸n has expanded the scope of his research to cover aquaculture from an interdisciplinary perspective, fully embracing an 鈥渆cosystem approach to aquaculture.鈥澨�

Latest Honours

Prix d鈥橢xcellence 2015
Fisheries and Oceans Canada

The Prix d'Excellence is Fisheries and Oceans Canada鈥檚 most prestigious award
honouring individuals and teams who have made exemplary contributions to the department. I received this award in 2015 as a member of the 鈥淎quaculture Carrying Capacity Team鈥� (Gulf Fisheries Centre) in the category of 鈥淓xcellence in Policy and / or Science鈥�. This award is a recognition of our ecosystem modelling work in Atlantic Canada and its application to assessing and improving the sustainability of shellfish aquaculture sites.

Research Interests

Ram贸n鈥檚 research goal is to promote the sustainable management of coastal aquaculture sites. His primary research tool is ecosystem modelling, which he uses to study aquaculture-environment interactions, explore ecosystem functioning, and establish precautionary management approaches. Ram贸n uses modelling tools such as scenario building and optimization to generate alternative and objective management strategies that can be used to inform marine spatial planning. Furthermore, Ram贸n recognizes the social-ecological nature of aquaculture, and accordingly, his research interests cover ecological, social and economic aspects. This interdisciplinary prism is fundamental for improving aquaculture, and coastal management in general, according to an ecosystem approach.
