Lisa K Izzo

Assistant Professor | School of Natural Resources

Specialization: Fisheries

Overview

My research interests broadly focus on movement ecology of fishes, and how that information can be used to assess and manage populations. I often use telemetry (acoustic or radio) to address research questions, but integrate that technique with various other laboratory and field-based methods in fisheries science, including hydroacoustics, age and growth analysis, and conventional tagging. Through my research, I aim to directly address issues of importance to fisheries managers in the region.

Research Focus

Fish movements & migrations, age & growth, methods development & validation, thermal ecology, population dynamics
