About

José Maria Santos is an Assistant Professor at the University of Lisbon, School of Agriculture. His research focuses on fish ecology and freshwater systems, particularly examining the impact of small hydropower plants on fish habitats and movements. Recent publications include studies on fish microhabitat use, the effects of pulsed flows on cyprinids, and the development of selective fishways to manage non-native species. He contributes to the understanding of aquatic ecosystems within European river basins.
