Ignacio Payá Contreras

Marine Biologist and Bachelor in Marine Biology, with vast experience in indirect and direct demersal and deepwater resources assessments. As Senior Stock Assessment Scientist in the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) fisheries department he led 8 area swept surveys and estimated biomass with geo-statistic methods. He has also worked in fisheries management by regulating fishing effort. He has participated in projects on individual growth, trophodynamics, impact of fishing on demersal communities and the relationship between recruitment and environment.
