听are interested on aquaculture research from a holistic perspective, including the ecosystem that holds the aquaculture facility, the farmed species, and the humans involved in this activity. Accordingly, we have a variety of interests, ranging听from animal physiology to ecosystem functioning and resilience, as well as topics that extend beyond the field of natural sciences such as social licence to operate.
Our interests reflect our understanding of aquaculture as a human activity that requires an interdisciplinary approach for effective management. Consequently we truly embrace an ecosystem approach to aquaculture.

听research looks at understanding western and indigenous knowledge systems and explores how the different processes by which knowledge is acquired, transmitted and used can be harnessed to enhance Canadian fisheries policy.
Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the research aims to identify the commonalities and differences in indigenous knowledge systems across the Pacific, Arctic, Inland and Atlantic regions and in four distinct coastal communities in Canada (Tla-o-qui-aht, British Columbia;听Naujaat, Nunavut;听Nipissing, Ontario; and听Eskasoni, Nova Scotia). The project also seeks to understand how indigenous and western knowledge systems can be used to improve the sustainability of Canadian fisheries.
