Mrs Peristeraki has been working in research projects dealing with large pelagic and demersal fish species since 1987. She is scientific responsible for the Mediterranean International Trawl Survey (MEDITS) in the south Aegean Sea since 2002, and for the large pelagic tagging campaign in Greece (conventional and satellite electronic tagging). In the frames of the tagging campaign, it was achieved, for the first time worldwide, the tagging of small juvenile swordfish with mini satellite tags.
She has participated in several international research projects concerning fishery biology and dynamics of large pelagic and demersal species and has published relevant scientific articles in journals and books. Regularly participates in the working groups of the International Committee for the Conservation of the Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). She is member of the MEDITS Steering Committee.
Mrs Peristeraki has first identified and reported the presence of the highly toxic invasive fish Lagocephalus sceleratus in Crete and participated at the campaign for the public awaireness.
