I am interested in the hormonal regulation of behavior, development, and osmoregulation in fishes. Due to their life histories, anadromous fishes face a range of osmotic challenges. The capacity to meet these osmotic challenges is determined to a great degree by the endocrine system. Recent work from our lab has shown that contaminants, including endocrine disrupters, can disturb development and osmoregulation in Atlantic Salmon. I am interested in the mechanisms of endocrine disruption and stress physiology in anadromous fishes. I hope that my work can be applied to the conservation and restoration of endangered anadromous fishes.
