To achieve this goal, the fellowship holder will be involved in the following activities:
- Characterize the copepodamide profile of copepods species;
- Assess if the local copepodamides-producing copepods induce toxin production on the local HABs species;
- Evaluate if copepodamides accumulation in shellfish can function as an early warning of toxins accumulation for the local shellfish species-biotoxins group combinations;
- Experimental planning and design in the context of the project's objectives;
- Write and publish research papers;
- Present findings at national and international conferences;
- Technology/knowledge transfer activities and dissemination;
