Bio

My laboratory participates in work related to developing southern flounder, Paralichthys lethostigma, as an aquaculture cultivar with a focus on temperature-dependent sex determination and developing stocks consisting of only the faster growing females. We are also interested in and have demonstrated variation in juvenile sex ratios from salt marsh nursery habitats in eastern North Carolina. This work could contribute to improved fisheries models for these populations and also understanding of how climate change may impact this economically and ecologically important species.
