Over and beyond the basic research undertaken by our group, we have always tried to foster the possibilities of knowledge transfer to interested entreprises, administrations and stakeholders.

In this sense the group offers its taxonomic expertise, as well as its knowledge on the demography and biology of benthic species. The group's advice has been sought by firms involved in drug discovery (Pharmamar S.A. ), environmental consulting entreprises (Tecnoambiente, Ambio, Mediterráneo Servicios Marinos), and administrations implicated in live resources management (e.g. Fisheries Departament, Catalan Government).
