Personal profile
Research overview
My research interests have embraced a variety of marine ecological topics, ranging from the development and dynamics of hard substratum epifaunal ("fouling") communities, to responses of invertebrate larvae at metamorphosis and the population genetics of marine molluscs and crustaceans. Latterly, my focus has been on wild salmon populations and their responses to environmental change. A further long-standing interest has been the effects of ectoparasitic sea lice on wild salmonid popualtions.
Future research
Impacts of sea lice infestations on stocks of wild salmonid fish. Effects of climate change on wild salmon populations
Industrial relevance
Our sea lice research (funded by the EU) has applied socio-economic implications for both the aquaculture industry and the management of wild stocks of salmon and sea trout. Our research on larval settlement has applied relevance to the prevention and amelioration of fouling of man-made structures.
