Research Interests
- Research has covered fish from the Arctic through the temperature regions to the Antarctic. Studies include: demography based
on age evaluation, stock assessment, environmental effects on habitat, otolith chemistry for assess movement and migration,
recreational anglerrrrr surveys, simulation modeling and quantitative statistics. I have won numerous national research awards
and authored two papers selected as Best Paper by the American Fisheries Society.
