I am a behavioural and physiological ecologist who has worked mainly on fishes, with a focus on Atlantic salmon and brown trout. I’ve been interested in linking individual variation in behavioural and physiological traits to life histories. Most recently this has concentrated on examining how variation in metabolic rate arises, how stable it is within individuals, and what are the costs and benefits of a high or low standard metabolic rate under different ecological conditions
The focus of my PhD will be the difference in microbiome and host-parasite interaction between the two different yellow eels ecomorph: broad and narrow head.

My PhD will explore the microbial ecology and energetics of wild and domesticated Atlantic Salmon

My project is entitled; SalmoSim - Exploring the microbial basis of Atlantic Salmon energetics via a synthetic intestinal system.

My PhD focuses on the gut microbiota of Atlantic salmon and its link with host metabolism, physiology and behaviour via microbiological methods.
