I am a Senior Scientist and Team Leader (Finfish and Genetics) in the Aquaculture Group, Cawthron Institute, and a Senior Adjunct Researcher at the University of Tasmania with over 30 years of experience in aquaculture research (finfish and shellfish). My focus is the application of research to enhance sustainable commercial aquaculture production, including salmon farming, selective breeding, genomic selection and climate change adaptation. I have led a wide range of projects on topics including salmon genomics, behaviour, health, physiology, microbiomics, data science and selection of thermotolerant and feed efficient Chinook salmon. I currently lead the Climate Adapted Finfish MBIE Endeavour programme.
