| The Center for
Quantitative Fisheries Ecology was conceived by Dr. Cynthia
Jones in the 1998 based on her work with the Virginia Marine
Resource Commission evaluating fish populations in
Chesapeake Bay.
In 2006 CQFE
obtained its own building on the campus of Old Dominion
University. The building has offices for resident and
visiting researchers from around the world, post doctoral
fellows and graduate students studying with Dr. Jones, labs
for extracting and preparing hard parts (otoliths, scales,
opercula, spines), microscopy labs for hard part
analysis, and a Class 100 clean room.
