Pierpaolo Consoli

Pierpaolo Consoli is a marine biologist and ecologist, working at SZN as researcher. His principal research topics are the ecology, biology and diversity of marine fish with a special attention to:
the relationship between fish assemblages and natural/artificial habitats by means of visual census techniques, protected species and habitats, feeding ecology of large pelagic fish, the effects
of protection measures on fish assemblage in MPAs, the impact of marine litter on marine habitats and species.

Cristina Pedà

Cristina Pedà is a marine biologist. She works at SZN as research fellow. Her studies focus on trophic ecology of fish (top predators and demersal fish) and cetaceans. She has experience in cephalopod
taxonomy as well as in the identification of cephalopod beaks in stomach contents. She carries out studies on the impacts of marine litter on marine environment, trophic web and biodiversity. Other
research topics are the studies of artisanal fisheries and fishery management.

Maria Giulia Stipa

Maria Giulia Stipa is a marine biologist. She is a PhD student at the University of Messina (Italy) and has a research grant at SZN. Her research interests focus on marine cephalopod and fish
biology and ecology. She gained experience in the trophic ecology of large pelagic fish (swordfish, bluefin tuna and Mediterranean spearfish) and in the taxonomic identification of cephalopod beaks found in stomachs.
