Fleur Visser is a Senior Scientist at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) specializing in Marine Biology within the Coastal Systems Department (COS). Her research focuses on the deep-sea ecology of marine mammals and the impacts of anthropogenic stressors on these ecosystems. She combines field studies near the Azores with laboratory work at GEOMAR, collaborating with institutions like SCRIPPS Institution of Oceanography.
- Specializes in whale and dolphin social/foraging ecology
- Investigates deep-sea squid communities and hunting profitability
- Studies effects of underwater noise pollution on cetaceans
Funding includes prestigious NWO-Vidi grants for deep-sea whale hunting research. Recent work explores:
- Deep-sea squid nutritional value
- Marine mammal behavioral adaptations
- Anthropogenic noise impacts on predator-prey dynamics
- Deep-sea mining environmental consequences
Key findings include understanding why deep-sea hunting is energetically favorable despite prey density patterns, and documenting behavioral anomalies like spin dives in Risso’s dolphins.
