Fisheries

Fisheries and wildlife (FW) research in the Department of Applied Ecology spans the spectrum from fundamental studies on evolutionary strategies for habitat exploitation and predator-prey interactions to research with direct applications in the assessment and management of species and ecosystems. Some of these research programs have a laboratory component, but most emphasize field research at sites throughout North Carolina as well as in Costa Rica, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Russia, and elsewhere.

Aquaculture

From applied studies on methods for rearing fish to fundamental research on mechanisms controlling reproduction and growth.

Conservation Biology

From marine waters to coastal estuaries to rivers, faculty employ various techniques to address critical research areas.

Ecology

Our research ranges from the habitat requirements of different populations to interactions among species.

Environmental Toxicology

Focused on toxicological issues related to environmental quality and health, our research is extensive.

Wildlife

Studying evolutionary strategies for habitat exploitation and predator-prey interactions is just one of our many research areas.
