Gitai Yahel Lab

MSc student

I am an MSc student under the co-supervision of Prof. Gitai Yahel, Ruppin Academic Center, and Prof.Yoni Belmaker, Tel Aviv University. I graduated with a BSc in Marine Science from Ruppin Academic Center in 2023 and worked as a research assistant in the lab during my studies. I studied bivalve's behavior (S. spinosus) in situ and a colonization of the soft bottom in front of Mikhmoret by ascidians (M. exasperatus).
My MSc research is focused on how marine heatwaves affect fish behavior in situ and specifically how it changes their activity and spatial distribution and how this response varies between different species and individuals.
