Lab Members
Dr. Aaron Carlisle, PI
Dr. Carlisle joined the University of Delaware in 2018 as Assistant Professor of Fisheries Ecology. His research focuses on how the abiotic and biotic environment and organismal biology interact to influence the behavior, distribution and ecology of species, and how these interactions impact their population dynamics, life history strategies, and ecosystem roles. He uses a variety of approaches and technologies, such as stable isotope analysis and biologging, combined in new ways to provide unique insights into marine species.
Dr. Carlisle is a graduate of Stanford University (Ph.D.), Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (M.S.), and Princeton University (A.B.). He is a member of the IUCN Shark Specialist Group and serves on the board of directors of the American Elasmobranch Society. |
Richard Wong, Ph.D. Student
Rich received a B.S. in Fishery Science and Natural Resources Management from Rutgers University and a M.S. in Marine Biology from the University of Delaware. He studies the biology, ecology, and population dynamics of marine fishes, crustaceans, bivalves, and gastropods as a fishery scientist at the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife.
For his Ph.D. studies, Rich is investigating the life history characteristics and ecology of the knobbed whelk (Busycon carica). |
