Estefania Paredes Rosendo is a Researcher at the University of Vigo within the Faculty of Marine Sciences. Her affiliation includes the Ecology and Animal Biology Department and the ECIMAT Singular Research Center. She works in the Cryolab at the ECOCOST research group.
- Doctorate in Zoology (University of Vigo, 2014)
Research Focus: Paredes specializes in marine invertebrate cryopreservation, developing protocols for gametes, embryos, and larvae of species like sea urchins, mussels, and cockles. Her work addresses ecotoxicology and marine pollution monitoring, with applications in shellfish aquaculture and small-scale fisheries. She has pioneered non-lethal sex identification methods for sea urchins and investigated cryoprotectant agent toxicity across developmental stages.
Publications: Her 15 most recent works (2014-2023) cover Cryobiology, Aquaculture, Ecotoxicology, and Conservation Biology. Key trends include cryoprotectant optimization, long-term larval viability studies, and cryopreservation's role in genetic resource banking and environmental monitoring.
Facilities: Conducts research at the ECIMAT marine station on Toralla Island, Spain.
