My research interests include fish behavior, physiology, and conservation engineering. Currently, my research is focused on the temperature and energy use of American shad and its effect on fish passage and spawning success. This research includes: (1) swimming studies and respirometry to determine maximum sustained swimming capacity, burst swimming capacity, and oxygen demand; (2) measurements of energy (lipids) throughout migration (non-lethally via the Distell ‘Fatmeter’); and (3) spawning studies comparing survival and fertilization success between different flows, temperatures, and passage.
