Johnson, Magnus - University of Hull - Department of Biology / Biomedical Sciences

个人简介

I grew up in the Shetland Islands and come from a family with a history of whaling, fishing and crofting. After graduating from the University of Plymouth I went on to read for an M.Sc. in Marine and Fisheries Science at Aberdeen University. My Ph.D. (Leicester University) was a study of the specially adapted eyes of deep-sea shrimps and involved spending 9 months at sea on British and Russian research vessels. After completing my PhD I worked as a scientific observer on board a Spanish fishing vessel in the Antarctic, directed a marine station in Jamaica, worked for the Royal Geographic Society in the Seychelles and worked as a research diver in Belize.

研究领域

Magnus leads the Crustacean Fisheries and Ecology Research Group which has broad-ranging interests and links with local fishing groups, the British Antarctic Survey and Oxford University Natural History Museum. Krill apparatus Research Interests: Krill ecophysiology Krill are the Duracell batteries of the Antarctic ocean, many of the charismatic animals that we associate with these waters (penguins, whales and seals) feed on them. However, we know virtually nothing of how they live their lives - How do they find mates? Why do such enormous swarms form? Do they try to escape from approaching whales? I think that one way to answer some of these questions is to look at individual krill. My research with scientists from the British Antarctic Survey has demonstrated that krill are a really important part of the Carbon cycle in southern oceans. Postgraduate research students Neil Thompson - comparative ecomorphology of Nordic and Antarctic krill Nephrops Nephrops_videoI am a collaborator on the European Nephrops FP7 project that aims to develop hatchery technology to enhance the sustainability of this importance commercial species. It also aims to develop procedures and technology to enhance the survival of discarded animals. For further details see the Nephrops web-site.
