Living Marine Resources
Seafood sustainability and security are fast becoming major environmental issues. Together with the Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies, MEB faculty seek to promote science-based management and conservation of living marine resources, primarily through an appropriate mix of basic science, applied science and targeted environmental impact research. We address longstanding fundamental questions about the predictability of reproductive success for marine organisms with complex life cycles (the “Recruitment Problem”) and work to enhance the quality, sustainability, and economic efficiency of aquaculture through interdisciplinary work on genetics, physiology, and ecological modeling.
