Expertise

While I have worked with catfish and marine shrimp most often, I have conducted research with other commercially important species including largemouth bass, bluegill, blue crab, golden shiners, and several other freshwater and marine species.

My research activities are most often driven by the immediate needs of Alabama commercial aquaculture, in response to emerging industry and stakeholder issues.
