I am a Masters student and am co-supervised by Dr. Bradbury (DFO/Dalhousie) and Dr. Fleming (Memorial University). My current work aims to better understand the genetic and ecological relationship of coexisting anadromous Atlantic salmon and ouananiche (AKA landlocked salmon) in the Rocky River, NL. I will use genetic, dietary and spatial analyses to understand life history heritability and differences in watershed use and ecology between these two groups. The outcome of my project will provide relevant insight for Atlantic salmon conservation and management where anadromous salmon and ouananiche coexist and shed light on a little studied aspect of Atlantic salmon biology.
