Primary areas of expertise: Gelatinous zooplankton ecology: socio-economic impacts of jellyfish (e.g. aquaculture and fisheries interactions); jellyfish associated pathophysiology; diet and trophic interactions of jellyfish; broadscale distribution and abundance of key gelatinous groups and sampling techniques for monitoring gelatinous zooplankton (inc. plankton hauls, MIK net, fisheries by-catch data and visual surveys). Animal biotelemetry: deployment of satellite tags, data loggers and acoustic tracking devices on various species (jellyfish, sunfish, seabass, blue sharks and leatherback turtles) to determine animal movements, migration patterns and behaviour. Marine litter: abundance, distribution and sources of marine litter; ingestion and food web transfer of microplastics.
