Fish and Aquatic Ecology
Dow 721

 Research in this lab develops a basic understanding of the dynamics of fish feeding preferences and their distribution and interaction with other species.  Studies examine growth, population density, diet and responses of invertebrate species.  The mechanistic understanding of these interactions is important to fish management programs and environment issues of water use management and pollution.  Recent research includes the habitat and growth of the coastal Brook Trout.
