An invasive, freshwater jellyfish is popping up in B.C. waters in the thousands - up to 34 places so far - and future sightings could increase rapidly by the end of the decade as climate change extends this range.
As the abundance of global fish populations continues to deteriorate, top fisheries researchers are calling for simpler yet more accurate stock assessment models that avoid overly optimistic scientific advice, which ends up encouraging overfishing.

Since the 1990’s, TDC has been associated with fish and seabird declines in the Great Lakes and the Baltic Sea. In addition to direct mortality, TDC includes sublethal effects across all salmon life stages, including reduced visual acuity and feeding rates, reduced migration performance, and impaired immune response.
He receives the Research and Innovation, which recognizes the important professional and community contributions of UBC alumni who have consistently demonstrated outstanding social achievements in research and innovation.
