Research interests

My research interests encompass a broad range of aspects relating to the life history of marine and estuarine fish and invertebrates including: 1) the evaluation of factors which affect vital rates (growth, survival, feeding, reproduction), 2) the coupling of species life history and physiology, 3) the utilisation of bioenergetics and individual-based models, and 4) the development and application of aquaculture.
