About
Research Interests
I am interested in the role physiology plays in the behavior and ecology of fishes and marine organisms, particularly migratory and anadromous species. The unique aspects of living in an aquatic environment creates both constraints and opportunities in everything from locomotion to stimulus detection to osmoregulation. Specific areas of interest include movements and migrations; osmoregulation and anadromy; the role of sensory physiology in orientation and navigation; currents and rheotropism; conservation and management of native fishes and associated fisheries; telemetry of fishes (ultrasonic, radio, satellite, PIT).
