We study how environmental conditions and environmental history shape energy metabolism, physiological plasticity, and resilience in aquatic animals. Our research integrates comparative animal physiology, environmental physiology, and applied aquaculture science to link physiological mechanisms with organismal performance under changing environmental conditions.
Core areas of research include:
Energy metabolism and energetic allocation
Physiological plasticity and environmental history
Stress physiology and resilience
Applications toconservation, fisheries, aquaculture, and aquatic animal health
Common approaches include:
Respirometry
Biochemical assays
Lipid and fatty acid analysis
Histology
Behavioral assays
Controlled environmental experiments
Current projects and experimental approaches can be found in the sections below.
