Oceanography, fish, fisheries, estuaries, plankton, salps, eddies

My research interests include the early life history of fish, plankton particle size and the relationships with oceanographic variability. I have also been involved in the study of home range, age and reproduction of a temperate reef fish and coral reef fish, the protection of MPAs for pelagic fish, and the responsible re-stocking of NSW estuaries with mulloway. I am supervising six graduate students (three of whom are APA(I), and I have supervised to graduation 10 PhD students and over 30 honours students over the past 13 years. I teach a third year fisheries and oceanography course, coordinate the honours program. I collaborate with Jason Middleton and Mark Baird in School of Maths, and with the Australian Museum, the New South Wales Fisheries department, the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), and the Canada Department of Fisheries & Oceans.
