**Meet the editor**

Fabrice Teletchea is an associate professor at the Université of Lorraine (France). He received a master's degree from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France, and a PhD in Systematics from the Université of Lyon in 2005, after which he studied fish domestication in aquaculture. Dr. Teletchea developed a comparative framework of the reproductive

strategies of European freshwater fish species based on a new database called STOREFISH, in order to better understand the different trade-offs observed at the early life stages of fish and to help domesticate fish more efficiently. In parallel, he teaches ecology, fish biology, animal domestication, and managed a diploma entitled "Inland Aquaculture and Aquariology" at the IUT Nancy-Brabois.
