Current Research
Jon is the lab manager for the REUT Physiology Team. He collaborates on a variety of projects related to salmon reproductive physiology. Jon is developing molecular assays to study gene regulation of hormones. He studies endocrine mechanisms that control growth and reproduction in salmonids and studies mechanisms whereby growth influences the onset of puberty in salmon. Jon also trains graduate students and helps with field sampling for studies related to hatchery reform.
