Recherche scientifique de premier plan sur l’habitat du poisson d’eau douce

Recherche et / ou projets en cours

Mon programme de recherche se concentre sur l'utilisation d'approches novatrices pour caractériser l'habitat du poisson afin d'éclairer la gestion des écosystèmes d'eau douce. Nous utilisons une combinaison d'approches de terrain, de laboratoire et analytiques à l'aide d'outils et de techniques tels que la télémétrie, l'accélérométrie, la respirométrie et l'apprentissage automatique. En particulier, nous utilisons des approches bioénergétiques pour comprendre comment les poissons interagissent avec leur environnement et réagissent aux menaces des activités humaines, en nous concentrant sur les espèces de poissons écologiquement et économiquement importantes dans la région des Grands Lacs comme le doré, l'achigan à grande bouche, le grand brochet et les espèces en péril (SAR) comme le méné argenté. Nous utilisons également des données extensives de suivi des poissons (télémétrie acoustique) pour développer des modèles de qualité de l'habitat et de distribution des espèces pour une grande variété d'espèces de poissons importantes.
