Personal profile
Research interests
My research focusses primarily on fish behaviour and fish welfare at both a fundamental and applied level; employing both emerging and established approaches and technologies to the study of tropical species and systems. Support of Indigenous ambitions in aquaculture for food security, health and wellbeing, as well as business, is also a key priority.
