Physiology
and behavior of aquatic animals; resource conservation
In general terms, my interests are in the physiological ecology
of aquatic organisms and the interface between animal behavior and
physiology. In researching these topics, I combine laboratory and
fieldwork methods to address the questions at hand - many of which
have resource conservation applications. Much recent work involves
tracking the movements of pelagic and nearshore fishes and sharks
and relating their diel movements and habitat usage strategies to
their foraging success, energy budgets and population vitality.
These projects are often aimed toward promoting sustainable management
of resources. Originally trained as a fish sensory physiologist,
I maintain an interest in this field.
