个人简介
My general interest is summarized as basic and applied fish physiology, with research focusing in two areas.
Firstly, we are studying the physiology of triploid fishes and assessing their suitability for aquaculture. Triploids are unique models for physiological research because they have a smaller number of larger cells in most tissues and organs. This allows us to examine the importance of cell size and number to basic physiological processes without having to do inter-species comparisons. Our current research focuses on hematology, metabolism, and environmental tolerances, but we have also examined reproductive physiology and nutrient utilization in triploids. This work is of relevance to aquaculture and fisheries management because triploidy induction is the only method currently available for the mass-production of reproductively sterile populations of fish, but triploids typically do not perform as well as conventional diploids under commercial culture conditions. Our research is meant, in part, to determine the underlying reasons for the differences in performance between triploids and diploids and thereby develop triploid-specific production protocols.
The second principal area of research in my lab deals with sex determination and gonadal differentiation in fishes, and the use of genetic, endocrine and environmental manipulations to produce single-sex populations for aquaculture. We are interested in the biochemical and physiological processes that underlie gonadal differentiation into ovaries and testes in fish, processes which are highly plastic compared to those of mammals. This work has relevance to aquaculture because frequently one sex has better production characteristics (faster growth, later maturity, production of caviar, etc.) than the other. We have collaborated extensively with industry partners on this research.
