Additional Information:Research Interests:
Development of new tools and techniques for data-limited stock assessment and fishery management, including:
- Catch-based methods, e.g., depletion-corrected average catch (DCAC)
- Use of MPA information in stock assessment and fishery management
- Full accounting of imprecision in assessment methods
Ecological and oceanographic aspects of fish population dynamics, including:
- Spatial behavior and density-dependent habitat selection
- Intraguild competition and species interactions
- Low-frequency environmental fluctuations
Population dynamics and stock assessment:
- Groundfish, especially rockfish (Sebastes spp.)
- Coastal pelagics, including sardines and anchovies
