Biography

Currently Working on: Acclimation of fish to extreme environments and the effects of environmental stressors on fish physiology. Specifically, 1) Pituitary control of osmoreception and osmoregulation in a euryhaline fish model; 2) the effects of environmental salinity regime on fish growth; and 3) the effects of environmental contaminants on fish growth and reproduction.

Research Intrest

Extension/Research Interests: With broader implications to aquaculture and biomedical research, my main interests are in: 1) osmoreception: the signal transduction of environmental salinity changes into physiological responses at the cellular and organismic levels in fish; regulation of prolactin cells by external and neuroendocrine factors and the role of second messenger systems; 2) osmoregulation: salt and water balance and its interplay with growth, metabolism and stress in fish; and 3) environmental adaptation and growth in fish: endocrine and specialized cellular responses to changing environmental conditions.
