PhD Studentship: The Structure and Function of Social Networks in a Marine Predator
David Jacoby Marine Biological Association & University of Exeter Supervisor(s): Darren Croft and David Sims It is well documented that many species of shark exhibit frequent, and often sexually segregated, aggregation behaviour during the resting phase of their diel cycle. This behaviour has been linked in the past to habitat or environmental preferences, foraging opportunities […]
PhD Studentship: Validation and Development of Otolith Microchemistry in free-ranging Marine Fish
Anna Sturrock University of Southampton Supervisor(s): Dr Clive Trueman, Dr Ewan Hunte The aim of the project is to determine the relationship between otolith microchemistry and the ambient environmental conditions experienced by free-swimming plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.). By matching known spatial and temporal movements with otolith composition, we hope to validate and develop otolith microchemistry […]

PhD Studentship: Extent and Drivers for Cryptic Benthivory in ‘Pelagic’ Ocean Sunfish
Natasha Phillips Queen’s University Belfast Supervisor(s): Jon Houghton and Chris Harrod The ocean sunfish (Mola mola) is often described as an inactive, obligate predator of gelatinous zooplankton, but new research suggests these long held beliefs need significant revision. A recent study has revealed evidence of cryptic benthivory in juveniles and this project aims to examine […]
PhD Studentship: Integration of Sea Angling Associated Catch and Mortality for Stock Assessment
Graham Monkman University of Bangor & CEFAS Supervisor(s): Michel Kaiser, Kieran Hyder and Franck Vidal There are c. 1 million recreational sea anglers (RSA) in the UK, spending annually over £1.2 billion and their removals of marine fish can be quantitatively comparable to commercial landings, as revealed by landings of the European sea bass, Dicentrarchus […]
PhD Studentship: Differential Susceptibility to Copper in Wild Populations of Three-spined Stickleback (Gasterosteus Aculeatus).
Lauren Laing University of Exeter Supervisor(s): Eduarda Santos & Rod Wilson Most aquatic environments in the UK and worldwide have been affected by anthropogenic environmental stressors. Such stressors vary from chemical pollution to habitat fragmentation and to changes in abiotic parameters such as temperature and dissolved oxygen or carbon dioxide. Populations of fish inhabiting these […]
