and PDF Studies in Biological and/or Fisheries Oceanography:
Candidates interested in MSc, PhD or
Postdoctoral studies in Biological and/or Fisheries Oceanography with C. T.
Taggart should contact him directly. Scholarship students and PDFs are
encouraged to apply, though other funding sources may be available. Candidates
interested in advancing the sciences in the following general (but by no means
limiting) areas encouraged:
- Developing predictive relationships between
water mass structure, prey fields, and larval fish and zooplankton
populations and communities.
- Testing particle size distribution theory
(biomass spectrum) as it relates to zooplankton, fish communities and
production on inter-regional and temporal scales.
- Analyses of otolith micro-structure in larval
fish to address growth and mortality hypotheses in relation to watermass
structure and transport.
- The ecology of physiological cycles in fish
(condition, lipid status and spawning) and their relationship to
environmental (temperature and day length) cycles.
- Population genetics of fishes (larval and adult)
from a multi-metric and oceanographic perspective.
- Compound-specific carbon isotope composition of
fatty acids in marine fish.
- Fish growth and development from a thermal
integral perspective.
- Quantitative
- Ballast water treatment technologies for
reducing invasive species threat.
- Particle tracking technology for measuring
dispersion in aquatic systems: what if you had 109 drifters?
