Research Expertise:
- Fish Molecular Genetics
- Fish Breeding and Hatchery Management
Research Interest:
- Molecular Ecology
- Climate Change and Fisheries

Current Research Activities:
- Population structure and phylogeography of two fish species in Southern Queensland, Australia. Two fish species namely Southern Smelt (Retropinna sp.) and Empire Gudgeon (Hypseleotris compressa) will be assessed through microsatellite, mtDNA and otolith study to identify different lineage pattern in different river systems in Southern Queensland. The aim of the current research is to determine the life history, phylogeography and population structuring pattern of these two species.
