Research interests

My main interests are in early life ecology and recruitment dynamics of marine organisms. I have a varied background completing a PhD in lipid biochemistry at Stirling University and post-doctoral work on nutritional biochemistry of tropical prawns. After that I moved to Cefas, Lowestoft (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science) and developed research into the recruitment ecology of commercial fishes. Recent work has mainly focused on the early life history of species such as herring, plaice and cod in waters around the UK . I have undertaken extensive field surveys in most waters around the UK in order to map the distribution of fish eggs and larvae and investigate their transport, growth and mortality. Field studies have been complemented with desk based studies into major fisheries issues such as the likely impact of climate change on commercial fish stocks. I joined SAMS in 2007 to work on shelf seas research in waters to the west of Scotland and to develop complementary experimental and modelling studies. 

• Population dynamics of marine finfish
• Large-scale patterns in the distribution of early life stages in relation to oceanography
• Environmental and biological controls on the growth and survival of organisms through the egg, larval and juvenile stages
• Impacts of climate change on marine finfish
• Use of otolith micro‑increments for determining larval fish age and growth history
• Development and application of cutting-edge methods to aid fishery management and ecological investigations e.g. genetic probes for identifying fish eggs in mapping surveys and foodweb studies
