Welcome to the Fish Ecology Lab... The general focus of our research group is to understand the biology and ecology of marine organisms, particularly coastal fishes as models to test hypotheses of basic or applied ecological interest. We work in a variety of ecosystems, including reefs, bays and estuaries, and the rocky intertidal zone. Our interests include the processes and mechanisms that influence the demography of populations and the structure of assemblages. Often we direct our studies towards the early life history stages of fishes, especially concerning recruitment (input of young) to demersal habitats. Explore our website to learn more about us and our projects. Contact us if you are interested in becoming a graduate student in the lab or are an undergraduate at SDSU who would like to become more involved in research.

Contact InformationIf you are an undergraduate at SDSU who would like to get involved in the Fish Ecology Lab, please contact us. We offer Biol 299, 497, and 499 units and are always looking for AAUS-certified SDSU students to assist us. SDSU offers both a Master's Program and a Joint Doctoral Program in Ecology. The Doctoral Program is run in conjunction with the University of California, Davis, and a degree is awarded by both institutions. If you are interested in augmenting your undergraduate education or earning a graduate degree, follow the links above or contact the lab using the information below.
