Research Interests

 

My research focuses on the factors affecting the spawning behavior of walleye in a Lake Erie tributary.  Specifically, I am interested in how the characteristics of adult fish might affect when and where they will spawn.  I am also interested in the potential impacts of recent changes in spawning habitat on the reproductive tactics of these fish.
