Fabio Campanella

Researcher

Marine Ecologist and Fisheries Scientist at CNR IRBIM in Ancona. He graduated in Marine Biology in 2009 and obtained a PhD in Marine Biology and Ecology from the Università Politecnica delle Marche in 2014. He has conducted research at NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) in the United States and at CEFAS (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science) in the United Kingdom, where he focused on the use of acoustics to study the distribution of fish species in coastal, oceanic, and seamount environments, taking part in numerous international scientific surveys. Since 2023, he has been working at CNR IRBIM in Ancona, where his research focuses on the study of pelagic communities, with particular attention to deep and remote ecosystems such as seamounts. His work integrates acoustic technologies, environmental data, and ecological modeling to investigate the spatial dynamics of pelagic communities and the environmental and oceanographic processes that influence their distribution and abundance.

Research Projects



The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
