Keywords: fisheries ecology and management

Interests:
Research in the areas of fisheries ecology and management extends from finely focused studies of physiochemical and biological mechanisms to management-oriented investigations of entire aquatic ecosystems. I specialize in community ecology and aquatic bioassessment.

Disciplines: Community Ecology & Population Biology, Conservation Biology
