He began his research as a behavioural fisheries ecologist with a background in fisheries and fisheries acoustics. His research focuses on the effect of anthropogenic factors on behavioural response and adaptation of exploited aggregative pelagic fish in a wide range of ecosystems, through cooperation with marine and freshwater scientists worldwide, which allows him to gain experience and knowledge on pelagic fish school behaviour. Approach by direct in situ observation and principally by underwater acoustics measurements. Today, he focuses on the dynamics of fishery resources, the impact of fishing on marine ecosystems, marine pollution and the optimisation of sustainable management methods for aquatic resources. He is recognised for his direct approach to fisheries socio-ecosystems, particularly in West Africa, where he collaborates with numerous local and international players.
