Main Features

 

Our lab focuses on: quantitative fisheries ecology, population dynamics, and fisheries stock  assessments and management. 

 

We investigate the interactions between commercial fishing, environmental factors and the dynamics of fish populations and communities. 

 

Our goal is to develop new approaches to modeling fish population dynamics and conducting stock assessment, using an interdisciplinary method of fisheries biology, ecology, mathematical and statistical modeling, and computer simulations.  

 Brief Introduction to Our Research
   Current Projects                                                                                            Past Projects>>>
 

 Assessment and Management of American Lobster Fisheries >>>
 
  • Development of a user-friendly stock assessment model for the American lobster

  • Developing and evaluating biological reference points for the American lobster fishery management

  • Recruitment dynamic of American lobster and its social and economic implication in the Gulf of Maine

     
 

 Assessing the biological impacts of groundfish surveys: a metapopulation approach >>>
   

This project seeks to evaluate the role played by population structure in shaping the statistical performance and ecological effects of alternative groundfish sampling strategies                                       

 

Testing social and biological scale compatibility in the Gulf of Maine Atlanic cod fishery >>>
 

 

The Gulf of Maine Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) fishery has suffered from stock collapse and an inability to recover. Managing cod stocks with regards to the biological scale of the fishery may have an impact on the recoverability of the stocks
