Xavier Bordeleau
Research Scientist at the Maurice Lamontagne Institute (DFO) conducting research on pinniped ecology (mostly grey and harbour seals in the St Lawrence Estuary and the Gulf) in relation to spatial ecology, predator/prey dynamics, trophic ecology and ecophysiology. Member of the National Marine Mammal Peer-Review Committee for DFO's Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS). Adjunct Professor at Université de Sherbrooke. Expertise in fish ecophysiology and salmonid ecology (PhD at Dalhousie University).
