My research interests are on the biological effects of pollution and contaminants in aquatic organisms, particularly native fish species. Degradation of aquatic environments is a major threat to biodiversity and I am interested in the sub-lethal and long-term effects of environmental stressors, including endocrine disrupting chemicals, and their effects on reproductive success and species survival.
