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!

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....

New paper! I am excited to see the results published from this fun collaboration characterizing patterns of salmon bycatch in the Eastern Bering Sea pollock fishery!

New paper! This was a fun collaboration investigating food web dynamics among co-occurring snappers in the Red Sea. The results suggest they partition niches despite occupying a similar trophic level!

Mapping suitable thermal migration corridors for western Alaska chum salmon in the North Pacific It is evident that warming North Pacific Ocean (NPO) temperatures are impacting salmon fitness and survival. Record-low western Alaska chum salmon run…

Thrilled to see this collaborative effort with excellent colleagues now published! We used results from my past work to investigate patterns of thermal habitat along the migration corridors of western Alaska chum salmon. Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This paper (journal.nafo.int/Portals/0/20...) comes to mind. Work on herring contributed to some of the foundational hypotheses and concepts used in fisheries science!

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

Check out our new paper in @icesmarine.bsky.social! academic.oup.com/icesjms/adva.. on management of pink salmon in expanding Arctic and invaded Atlantic ranges! Great to work with this international team!

and stay tuned for upcoming research using these data!

New Paper! I had the pleasure of helping Skip McKinnell assemble a database of >50k salmon catch records from ocean surveys beginning in the 50s... and the data are public! Read about the International Pacific Salmon Data Legacy here: npafc.org/bulletin-7-6/

Stock-specific Modeling of Bering Sea Chum Salmon: Integrating fishery-dependent observations with genetic data

Led by Curry Cunningham and an excellent team of UAF and NOAA collaborators!

New paper! Pacific salmon catches are rising in the Arctic, and now we know why! Published today in

Given the pace of Arctic climate change and projections of future SST/ice conditions, we expect this to be a fast-evolving situation in need of more research!

We propose a 2 part mechanisms that explained nearly all of the variation in salmon catches:
1) Late spring warm conditions in the Chukchi draw salmon north from the Bering Sea
2) Persistent summer warmth in the Beaufort allows eastward migration

Arctic subsistence fishers have been reporting and sampling salmon to DFO since 2000 as part of the Arctic Salmon program (www.arcticsalmon.ca). A much larger time span of Indigenous knowledge documented that salmon numbers are rising.

New paper on the distributions and thermal preferences of Pacific salmon at sea! Check it out here: t.co/gjvoql1rmx
Curry Cunningham, Jordan Watson, Skip McKinnell, and I enjoyed synthesizing high seas data stretching back to the 50s to develop this comprehensive look at the salmon marine phase! 🦑🧪

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!

Hello! PhD in Biological Oceanography and MS in Statistics. Currently a postdoc at UAF modeling the distributions of Pacific salmon at sea. My research interests lie in quantitative fisheries oceanography, fish population dynamics, and climate ecology.
