Research

From genomes to ecosystems.

We study how aquatic biodiversity is structured, how species respond to environmental change, and how genomic information can support conservation and fisheries science.

01

Evolution & Adaptation

Identifying genomic variation associated with environmental gradients, life history and rapid evolutionary change.

02

Conservation Genomics

Resolving population structure, connectivity and distinctiveness to inform conservation and management.

03

Climate Resilience

Connecting genomic vulnerability, ecological change and future environments across northern aquatic systems.

04

Fisheries Genomics

Applying genomic tools to stock structure, monitoring, species identification and sustainable fisheries.

Fieldwork

Connecting landscapes, populations and genomes.

Our work spans rivers, coasts and offshore ecosystems—from Newfoundland and Labrador to the Canadian Arctic and across the North Atlantic.

About

Science for understanding change.

Ian Bradbury is a research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada whose work focuses on evolutionary and conservation genomics of aquatic species, with an emphasis on climate adaptation, population structure and the translation of genomic evidence into science advice.
