Hi! My name is Anna Cornet Sanz, and I am currently a master’s student in Biodiversity at the University of Barcelona, specialising in Conservation. I have always been fascinated by animals and conservation, as I believe it is crucial to protect biodiversity for the future of ecosystems. Before starting this Master’s, I studied Biology at the University of Girona, where I did my bachelor’s thesis (TFG) analysing fish genetically, which introduced me to the world of fish, a group of animals I am deeply interested in.

Currently, I am working with the research group of Jolle Jolles, who is my master’s Thesis (TFM) supervisor. My TFM project, titled “Experimental Analysis of Fish Behaviour under Drought Conditions,” focuses on studying how intermittent river states affect fish and how extreme drought conditions influence their behaviour, based on the depth of the pools. I am particularly interested in ecology and fish behaviour and I’m excited to be part of this project. I’m looking forward to learning from this experience and the project ahead, and I look forward to gaining valuable insights into this field.
