Background and Research Interests:
I have a strong interest in the aquatic environment and organisms, especially fish and crustaceans. Scientifically, I am interested in the way physiological parameters, especially temperature, can influence the growth and development of cultured finfish. Specifically I have investigated the effects of changing the ambient temperature of embryos in a number of Australian native fish species.
