<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black">Joel Llopiz is a fisheries oceanographer and a larval fish ecologist. On the twilight zone project, his role is to decipher the mysteries of
the mesopelagic food web and its resilience to anticipated environmental change. His research focuses on the interactions of fish and fish larvae with their environment, particularly what they feed on and how well they are feeding. As part of the OTZ team,
his colleagues depend on him to identify creatures captured by cameras and nets; verify the biology behind acoustic scattering patterns; and anticipate the effect of red or white lights on Deep-See and Mesobot.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, he earned a Ph.D. degree in Marine Biology and Fisheries from University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (UM-RSMAS), Miami, FL, in 2008. He was a Postdoctoral Associate at UM-RSMAS
until 2010 and a Postdoctoral Scholar at WHOI until 2012. He is now an Associate Scientist in Biology at WHOI.</span><span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
