College Welcomes Colleagues From Brazil

Evoy Zaniboni-Filho and his wife, Samara Silva, have come from Brazil to join the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences for the upcoming year. Zaniboni-Filho’s main focus is on fisheries management and aquaculture, particularly related to hydropower impacts in the large rivers of Brazil. In 2007, he signed a memorandum of understanding to create exchange programs between the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil, where he is a faculty member, and the college. Silva is a doctoral student at the same university, where she concentrates on interactions between fish and aquatic vegetation. They will be working with Brian Murphy, fisheries professor and director of the Conservation Management Institute, on various fisheries projects throughout the course of their stay at the college.
