General Theme of Research Projects The
major research objective of Julian Dodson's laboratory is to
establish how environmental variability acting on the growth
and survival of larval and juvenile fishes influences the evolution
of life-history strategies in diadromous species. To this end,
the laboratory conducts research on the mechanisms of population
differentiation, including larval retention, growth and survival
in population-specific nursery areas and the environmental and
genetic control of alternative reproductive and migratory strategies
and tactics. Research findings are of fundamental importance as well
as providing
the knowledge needed for the wise management of these resources. The
lab is funded by NSERC, the Ocean Tracking Network and the Canadian
Healthy Oceans Network. |
