About ​Work

I take immense pride in being at the forefront of global Seriola sp. commercial production specialists, pioneering innovative solutions in the field. As a founding member of Mexico's first whole-cycle and commercial finfish aquaculture hatcheries, I contributed to groundbreaking achievements in Hiramasa, Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi) production, achieving remarkable survival rates from spawn to offshore juvenile stocking.
Now, as a key member of the dynamic team at Kampachi Farms Mexico, we are taking Seriola rivoliana mariculture to new heights in the world’s high-value finfish industry. My love for fish extends beyond my career; I see these creatures as benevolent wonders of nature. Understanding their needs is my mission, as I believe, "A happy fish is a healthy fish!" This philosophy drives my dedication to sustainable aquaculture. Holding a Master of Science degree in Marine Aquaculture from GIA (ULPGC), Gran Canaria, Spain, I have honed my research and technical skills, focusing on advancing marine hatchery and husbandry protocols. I have hands-on experience with various aspects of finfish production, from broodstock management, live prey production, egg and larvae development protocols, to fish nutrition, health, transport, genetics, and pathology.
I am a passionate advocate for marine aquaculture and I am committed to its continual improvement. While I initially enjoyed working with shrimp aquaculture (L. vannamei), my role as a marine hatchery manager has ignited a deep passion. I relish overseeing the entire lifecycle, from larvae to broodstock management and spawning induction. Additionally, I take pride in mentoring young technicians to excel in maintaining the highest production standards and quality. My experience spans various marine fish species, including Seriola lalandi/dorsalis (hiramasa), Seriola dumerili (amberjack), Seriola rivoliana (kampachi), Sparus aurata, Dicentrarchus labrax, and Argyrosomus regius, encompassing diverse husbandry procedures. My professional mission is to continually enhance marine fish production, setting global benchmarks for quality and fish welfare. Beyond my career, I am passionate about initiating non-profit aquaculture projects in remote communities, addressing child malnutrition, and collaborating on tuna rearing endeavors. I invite you to connect with me to explore how my extensive expertise and unwavering dedication to sustainable aquaculture can benefit your finfish aquaculture endeavors.
