Teaching Responsibilities:
Biol 4762 (Applied Animal Physiology)
Research Interests:
I am currently focusing on several research topics, the first
of which is exercise physiology of free-swimming smallmouth bass.
I tend to study fish physiology in a field setting under conditions
that allow the animals to use their full range of behavioural
and kinematic strategies to minimize energy expenditure and maximize
locomotory efficiency. I also conduct research in relation to
conservation of lake sturgeon in Manitoba, with ecology and aquaculture
being my main points of interest. I am currently developing methods
to rear these animals on natural prey items, which will reduce
hatchery costs considerably and make it possible for local First
Nation bands to rear their own fish (on a small scale) for stocking
purposes. I am also interested in ecological problems related
to hydroelectric activities, including fish passage and sedimentation.
