Research interests
- Fish behavior and fishing gear
- Sustainable utilization of fisheries resource of the northeastern U.S. and beyond
- Use of flume tank modeling techniques, computer simulations, sea trials, underwater video observations, and statistical methods to understand fish behavior near fishing gears
- Application of fish behavioral knowledge to fishing gear designs and operations to reduce bycatch, discards, megafauna interactions, and impact of fishing on the seabed
Research activities
- Testing a haddock trawl to reduce cod bycatch
- Designing a shrimp trawl grid to reduce bycatch of small fish and small shrimps
- Designing/testing a squid trawl to reduce butterfish bycatch in southern New England
- Testing a whiting trawl to reduce flounder bycatch in Maine
