Research in my lab is in the area of quantitative fisheries stock assessment.We use computer models for estimating direct impacts of fisheries on individual fish stocks and indirect impacts of fisheries on the surrounding ecosystem.Computer models are also used to examine spatial management options such as closed areas and the effects of space-time variation in primary productivity on the distribution and production of marine organisms.
