Hello fishphiles--
As a new subscriber to the list, I would like to introduce myself and my research interests. My name is Sean Lyman, and I'm a graduate student at the Duke Marine Lab in North Carolina. I suppose my research interests are best described as fisheries evolutionary biology, and my dissertation topic, while still in its formative stage, will look at life history plasticity and the effects thereon of fishing pressure, especially in the context of marine reserves in the Carribean. I would ideally like to build life history plasticity into fisheries models, though that may just be an ideal. I'm excited about the project because not only does it have pure application to life history theory but also real world application to perhaps the design and efficacy of marine reserves.
I would welcome any discussion about this topic from any interesed parties, and look forward to learning a lot from this list.
Best fishes,
Sean Lyman
