Bio/Research
My research interests fall under the general topics of fish biology, fisheries and conservation. Although I am always interested in studies that will improve our basic knowledge of fish biology, the vast majority of the recent projects in my lab have become much more applied in nature. Most of the studies within the lab are now geared towards the conservation of wild fisheries. Some of these projects use our physiological expertise to develop better conservation practices for recreational fisheries. During the past few years, for example, we have worked closely with industry to develop more “fish-friendly” practices within live-release angling tournaments. A number of recent projects in my lab have also been directed towards improving aquaculture practices as another way to conserve wild fish populations. Topics of interest in this area include land-based recirculation systems, polyculture, new species, improved feeds and development of new approaches to monitor growth in fish.
