Research

Research is one of our primary missions. Our faculty participate in collaborative research in a variety of systems addressing many pertinent questions:

  • Fish Ecology
  • Fisheries Management & Stock Assessment
  • Ecosystem Modeling
  • Population Genetics
  • Toxicology/Water Chemistry
  • GIS
  • Aquaculture/Mariculture
  • Fish Health/Nutrition
  • Fish Physiology
  • Shark Ecology
  • River/Stream Ecology

 

Outreach

We contribute to the training of undergraduate and graduate students in many ways. We also provide opportunities for other groups (K-12, public) interested in learning about fish. For information about opportunities, contact individual faculty members within the Center that have interests that match your own. SIUC has research-oriented programs that help support independent study. In addition to extramurally supported graduate support, the Center also provides faculty with research assistantships to enhance our training and research missions.
