Fisheries management and conservation is only as good as the data that flow to managers. Even in our modern age and in developed fisheries, gaps remain in the information necessary for adequate and responsible management of fisheries species. My research is geared towards high-use and/or low-information/data-limited fisheries species, and towards the provision and analysis of vital early and adult life history data of fishes and crustaceans, especially with respect to impacts expected from local fishery pressures and climate change. In order to achieve this goal, I use a suite of techniques, applying varying methods and pursuing collaborations based on the problem at hand.
