Ecology of Marine Diseases
Juga sp. snails
We are evaluating the impacts of infectious and parasitic diseases to populations of wild marine and anadromous fishes. The research involves a combination of field-based disease surveillances and controlled laboratory-based experiments that are designed forecast disease potential and mitigate future disease impacts to wild fish populations.

Effects of Nanophyetus salmincola on the Health and Survival of Puget Sound Steelhead
Low early marine survival rates of Puget Sound steelhead ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ), the state fish of Washington, have contributed to its dramatic population decline and current listing as a “Threatened Species” under the Endangered Species Act. Determining the cause(s) of this elevated mortality remains a primary objective of the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project, a large US / Canada effort...
Herring Disease Program
Using an approach that involves a combination of field- and laboratory-based studies, we are investigating fish health factors that may be contributing to the failed recovery of Pacific herring populations in Prince William Sound, AK. Field studies are providing infection and disease prevalence data to inform the population models, serological data that indicate the prior exposure history and...
