About
Dr. Roberto Pérez-Castañeda is a Full-Time Professor at the Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science), Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas, Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He holds a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences from Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional (CINVESTAV-IPN), Merida, Yucatan, Mexico and has over 20 years of experience in estuarine and coastal ecology, ecology and population dynamics of fishery resources, aquaculture, and aquatic health.
His research focuses on the ecology, health, and management of aquatic organisms in coastal and estuarine ecosystems. His work integrates population dynamics, aquatic animal health, and environmental assessment to address challenges in fisheries, aquaculture, and ecosystem conservation. Over his career, he has investigated population and habitat dynamics of penaeid shrimp and estuarine fishes, parasite–host interactions and disease control in cultured catfish and shrimp, and the occurrence of heavy metals and pollutants in aquatic environments. His research contributes to understanding how environmental, biological, and anthropogenic factors influence the sustainability of aquatic resources in tropical and subtropical systems. He is a member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers (SNII).
