Research interests
Current research in my group includes work on seagrass conservation and restoration, biogenic reef conservation and restoration (e.g. Serpulid reefs; flame-shell reefs), monitoring and restoration of blue mussels, impacts of electromagnetic fields on marine invertebrates, ecology and control of parasitic diseases in aquatic organisms, biology of Labyrinthulid and Thraustochitrid protozoans, fish ecology and biodiversity. Specific research interests include: seagrass mapping; constraints on seagrass and mussel distribution; causes of increase and decline of serpulid reefs; impacts and recovery of flameshells from fishing activities; physiology of fish and crustacean growth; effects of EMF on crustacean physiology and behaviour; fish parasite population dynamics and control; fish vaccines against bacteria; pathogens; dietary additives to improve immunity; ecology and biodiversity of fish and their parasites in estuaries and sea lochs; biology of bacterial fish pathogens.
