New paper! This was a fun collaboration exploring the trophic interactions between Atlantic cod at their southern range edge and a warm water species, black sea bass, on the rise in southern New England. Glad to see it out in the world!

Drivers and Dynamics of Salmon Bycatch in the Eastern Bering Sea Pollock Fishery
Minimising bycatch is a pervasive challenge for sustainable fisheries management, the importance of which is amplified for non-target species or populations that are in decline. In the eastern Bering....

Science friends, introduce yourselves below and I’ll share! Who are you? What do you work on? Where are you based?
I’ll go first. I’m David, and I study sharks and their conservation. I’m based in the Washington, DC area.
