My laboratory examines the effects of stress on fish, with stressors including ammonia, air-exposure, confinement, exercise, feeding, etc. We focus primarily on nitrogen metabolism and excretion, comparing these patterns in marine toadfish, rainbow trout, zebrafish and dogfish sharks. Our focus in the coming years will be increasingly genomic, and microarray technology will feature prominently in our research.
