Christopher Guy, PhD
Assistant Unit Leader - Montana Cooperative Fishery Research Unit
Chris conducts research within the broad context of fish ecology and fisheries management. A consistent research theme of his has been on native fish assemblage restoration, a prominent ecological and societal issue within the USA and globally. Within that theme, his research has two areas of emphasis— conservation of large-river fishes and suppression of invasive species (for conservation of native fishes). These areas encompass a broad diversity in ecosystem types and fish assemblages—from large warm-water rivers to alpine lakes. Given the mission of the Cooperative Research Units program, he willingly assists natural resource agencies with their research needs. As a faculty member at Montana State University, he serves on university committees, teaches graduate courses (Fisheries Science and Communications in Ecological Sciences) and seminars, and guest lectures in a variety of graduate and undergraduate courses.
Chris received his Ph.D. from South Dakota State University in Fisheries Science before joining the Unit program in 1994.
