Meet Giovanni Gianesin, Field Scientist

Giovanni Gianesin is a Field Scientist for the Cooperative Research Branch at our Woods Hole Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

Diversifying New England’s Seafood Marketplace

How many different seafood species do you purchase and eat? Many of us are familiar with lobster, sea scallops, cod, and haddock but not so familiar with eating dogfish, monkfish, scup, or sea robin.
