PhD Studentships: Differential Susceptibility to Copper in Wild Populations of Three-Spined Stickback (GASTEROSTEUS ACULEATUS)

By fsbi-builderPosted on 13th November 2018Posted in PhD StudentshipsTagged Current, RecentNo Comments

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 […]

PhD Studentships: Fish Ecology of Mesophotic Coral Reef Ecosystems

By fsbi-builderPosted on 13th November 2018Posted in PhD StudentshipsTagged Current, RecentNo Comments

Dominic Andradi-Brown University of Oxford Supervisor(s): Alex Rogers (Oxford) and Dan Exton (Operation Wallacea) Mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (MCE) occur in tropical regions extending from 30 m to the limit of the photic zone, c. 150 m. These reefs are often connected to shallow coral reef ecosystems, where it is suggested they provide an important […]

PhD Studentship: Extent and Drivers for Cryptic Benthivory in ‘Pelagic’ Ocean Sunfish

By fsbi-builderPosted on 30th January 2018Posted in PhD StudentshipsTagged Current, Recent

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 […]
