New paper! This was a fun collaboration exploring the trophic interactions between Atlantic cod at their southern range edge and a warm water species, black sea bass, on the rise in southern New England. Glad to see it out in the world! www.int-res.com/abstracts/me...
Strong diet and trophic niche overlap of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua and black sea bass Centropristis striata in warming southern New England waters

Drivers and Dynamics of Salmon Bycatch in the Eastern Bering Sea Pollock Fishery
Minimising bycatch is a pervasive challenge for sustainable fisheries management, the importance of which is amplified for non-target species or populations that are in decline. In the eastern Bering....

What a great week at #WFC2024! Traveling home today is bittersweet- it’s the last day of my rewarding postdoc at UAF. On Monday, I start as a Research Fish Biologist at NOAA GLERL in support of the Climate, Ecosystems, and Fisheries Initiative!
Excited to head to Seattle next week for the World Fisheries Congress! I am presenting our research modeling Pacific salmon distributions at sea on Thursday. Looking forward to chatting with old and new friends! #wfc2024 🦑 @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social
