Activities
Professor Jose María Bellido (Madrid, 1970). Along my entire life I have been interested in how to understand nature and particularly the sea, which led me to ecology and numerical modeling. Currently I work at the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, in its Oceanographic Centre of Murcia, and I have now more than 25 years of experience in marine and fisheries research. I studied Marine Sciences at the University of Cadiz (Spain), where I achieved my Bachelor (1994) and MSc (1996). Afterwards I moved abroad and I acquired my PhD (1997/2002) at the Department of Zoology of University of Aberdeen (Scotland, UK), one of the best European universities in marine sciences.

Skills
My main research fields are spatial modeling (using spatial stats and GIS tools) and stock assessment, with experience in Atlantic and Mediterranean stocks (ICES and GFCM WGs). I have been working both with demersal and pelagic resources and I also have been involved in discards research, quite important due to the EU policy of reduction of discards.
Comment(s)
Since 1994, I participated in more than 55 research projects, funded by both national and European institutions, leading 12 of them. A selection of my projects includes, PROOCEANS, 182k€; PELWEB, 138k€; SPELMED, 210k€; iSEAS, 3.9M€; PARLE, 15k€; VADEAR, 196k€; CREAM, 1M€; BADMINTON, 103k€; LANDMED, 246k€. I participate and attend to several international scientific-technical committees and research consortiums. Expert in 26 meetings of international scientific-technical institutions (STECF, ICES, FAO, GFCM, among others) and 47 meetings of research consortiums, both nationals and internationals.
