My lab is dedicated to research and teaching in conservation biology. Our mission is to help develop the scientific means to protect, maintain, and restore fish biodiversity in Canada and throughout the world by discovering important principles and educating other conservationists, government and resource managers, industry sectors, students and the public in fish conservation. Through the past few years my lab has become increasingly involved in important conservation projects with fish; their loss from the wild, their reintroduction by captive breeding programs, and their invasion into new environments where they may impact other species (e.g., Great Lakes). I have also been appointed to various committees on the assessment and conservation of wildlife, such as Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), where I am the Co-Chair of Marine Fishes. Because of the development and growth of this laboratory, many opportunities exist to work closely with relevant conservation issues and make a real contribution to science.
