Event Description
Speaker: Dr. Michael G. Frisk, Assistant Professor, School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences
Michael Frisk’s research focuses on the interaction of population
dynamics, ecology and life history evolution in fishes in the general
areas of applied ecosystem and population modeling, basic ecological
questions and meta-analyses. He is developing a length-based
statistical catch-at-age model for winter skate in the western Atlantic
and a multi-species model of Delaware Bay using Ecopath and Ecosim.
Knowledge of a species’ basic vital rates and ecology is essential for
development of population models and management.
Topic: Movements and Residence of Winter Flounder within Long Island Estuaries
The interaction of exploitation and divergent migration behaviors may be a factor contributing to the winter flounder’s decline in Long Island bays; however, more work will be required to obtain a full understanding of the spatial behavior and stock structure of this species.
The lecture will be followed by a reception. |
