Posteriormente disfrutó de una beca postdoctoral del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia en el CIBIO (Universidad de Oporto), tras la cual, fue profesora visitante en la Universidad de Gerona durante 6 meses, regresando a la Universidad de Murcia con un contrato postdoctoral de re-incorporación de 24 meses. Finalmente, ganó un contrato postdoctoral en el CCMAR (Centro de Ciências do Mar, Universidade do Algarve) de 6 años para trabajar nuevamente en pepinos de mar (pesquerías y acuicultura), consiguiendo en el 5º año y en convocatoria pública e internacional, un nuevo contrato como Investigadora Principal financiado por la FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Gobierno Portugués) y por la Unión Europea, creando su propio grupo de investigación en 2014 (MARESMA, MArine REsources MAnagement) en el CCMAR. Además, tiene la acreditación de Profesor Titular de Universidad por parte de la ANECA (España), conseguida en 2012. Durante esos años de investigación realizó varias estancias en centros oficiales de diferentes países en Europa, América, África, y Asia. Su investigación en pepinos de mar comenzó en el año 2004 con la supervisión de la tesis doctoral de la Dra. Giomar Borrero centrada en la taxonomía de pepinos de mar del Mediterráneo y el NE Atlántico. Durante su carrera investigadora, la Dra. 2 Wanguemert ha participado en 39 proyectos nacionales e internacionales, siendo Investigadora Principal y coordinadora en 6 Proyectos internacionales, 3 proyectos nacionales y 3 proyectos como coordinadora de “partner” portugués. Además lleva desempeñando su labor de evaluadora de proyectos para MINECO desde el año 2016, así como del Programa Juan de la Cierva, y actualmente es también evaluadora del programa Europeo Horizon 2020 (SFS-30: Agri-Aqua Labs, Scope A). Durante su trayectoria profesional ha colaborado en diferentes proyectos con varias empresas españolas e internacionales (tales como Sayanes Mar SL., Taxón Estudios Ambientales SL, Marine Atlantic SA, 13th Door Sociedade Unipessoal Lda, Tunagraso SA, Viver Atun SA, Yaizatun SA, Blue & Green Piscifactorías del Sureste SL, Piscifactorias Albadalejo, SL., Aquamar S.A., Atlantik Fish Lda, etc) permitiendo y favoreciendo, la transferencia del I+D+i desde la Universidad y Centros de Investigación a las empresas. La Dra. Wangüemert ha dirigido 6 Tesis Doctorales, 5 de ellas centradas en el estudio de pepinos de mar, y 15 Tesis de Master, 13 focalizadas también en holoturias. También ha dirigido las estancias de master de 21 estudiantes extranjeros, pertenecientes al EMBC programa europeo y a los 2 programas de master de la Universidad del Algarve de Biología Marina y de Pesquerías y Acuicultura. La Dra. Wangüemert tiene 69 publicaciones en revistas indexadas (ISI), siendo primera autora en 25 de ellas, supervisora y coordinadora de la investigación en 27 y teniendo 48 de ellas, sólo 3 ó 4 autores. De esas 69 publicaciones, 32 están centradas en el estudio de pepinos de mar. Su actual índice i10-index es de 39. 3 ACADEMIC BACKGROUND 2004 Ph. D. University of Murcia, Biological Sciences.

  • Reproductive Biology of the Sea Cucumber Holothuria Sanctori (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea)
    SCIENTIA MARINA 76(4) December 2012, 741-752, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 doi: 10.3989/scimar.03543.15B Reproductive biology of the sea cucumber Holothuria sanctori (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) PABLO G. NAVARRO 1,2, SARA GARCÍA-SANZ 2 and FERNANDO TUYA2 1 Instituto Canario de Ciencias Marinas, Ctra. Taliarte s/n, Telde, 35200, Las Palmas, Spain. E-mail: [email protected] 2 BIOGES, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017, Las Palmas de G.C., Spain. SUMMARY: The reproductive biology of the sea cucumber Holothuria sanctori was studied over 24 months (February 2009 to January 2011) at Gran Canaria through the gonad index and a combination of macro- and microscopic analysis of the gonads. Holothuria sanctori showed a 1:1 sex ratio and a seasonal reproductive cycle with a summer spawning: the mean gonad index showed a maximum (3.99±0.02) in summer (June-July) and a minimum (0.05±0.04) between late autumn (November) and early spring (March). Females had significantly wider gonad tubules than males. First maturity occurred at a size of 201 to 210 mm, a gutted body weight of 101 to 110 g and a total weight of 176 to 200 g. Holothuria sanctori shows a typical temperate species reproduction pattern. These results could be useful for managing current extractions of H. sanctori in the Mediterranean and in case a specific fishery is started in the eastern Atlantic region. Keywords: Holothuria sanctori, sea cucumber, holothurians, reproduction, life-cycle, maturity, Canary Islands.
