Thierry Fredou is an Associate Professor at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE) in the Department of Fishing & Aquaculture. His research focuses on the functional ecology of fish communities and ecosystem approaches to fisheries (EAF), utilizing natural biomarkers such as stable isotopes and otolith microchemistry, alongside data-driven methods in numerical ecology.

• Doctorate in Oceanography from Aix-Marseille University and Federal University of Pernambuco (2004)
• Post-doctoral research on Amazonian aquatic systems
• Lecturer at the Federal University of Pará

His work addresses population dynamics, community structure, and energy fluxes in tropical marine and estuarine ecosystems, with a strong emphasis on assessing human impacts in these regions. The research spans interdisciplinary themes like ecosystem dynamics, policy and governance, challenges and solutions, and data integration. Fieldwork and studies have been conducted across diverse tropical regions, including Senegal, Cabo Verde, and Brazil.
