Marina Paolucci

Marina Paolucci is a Full Professor (Professore Ordinario) in the Department of Science and Technology (DST) at the University of Sannio, Italy. Her research spans multiple disciplines within aquatic biology, environmental science, and food technology, with a particular focus on fish health, aquaculture, and natural compounds.

Professor Paolucci's research interests center on aquatic organisms and their responses to environmental stressors. Her work explores polyphenol applications in aquaculture, fish reproductive physiology, water pollution monitoring through biomarkers, and natural antimicrobial compounds from plant sources. She has made significant contributions to understanding fish health assessment, crustacean nutrition, and reproductive biology in marine species including octopus and trout.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on natural compounds for aquaculture applications, particularly polyphenols and plant extracts as feed additives. Her research demonstrates how these compounds can improve growth performance, immune response, and antioxidant status in aquatic species. She also investigates biomarkers for environmental monitoring and natural antimicrobial agents for food safety applications, showing interdisciplinary connections between aquaculture, environmental science, and food technology.

Professor Paolucci has collaborated extensively with researchers across Italy and internationally, as evidenced by her numerous co-authored publications. Her work appears in journals covering aquaculture, environmental science, food technology, and marine biology, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of her research program.
