Journal of Fish Biology 69, Issue 6, 1697-1708 Abstract: During their spawning period (June to mid-July) in the Gironde estuary, meagre Argyrosomus regius produce two distinct sounds: regular long grunts, the most common calls, and sometimes also short grunts.
It is suggested that long grunts serve the formation of spawning aggregations and short grunts announce the beginning of courtship behaviour.
Grassell (2006): Effects of surgically implanted acoustic transmitters >2% of body mass on the swimming performance, survival and growth of juvenile sockeye and Chinook salmon.
Journal of Fish Biology 69, Issue 6, 1626-1638 Abstract: The influence of surgical implantation of an acoustic transmitter on the swimming performance, growth and survival of juvenile sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka and Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha was examined.
The transmitter had a mass of 0.7 g in air while sockeye salmon had a mass of 7.0-16.0 g and Chinook salmon had a mass of 6.7-23.1 g (a transmitter burden of 4.5-10.3% for sockeye salmon and 3.1-10.7% for Chinook salmon).
Tagged sockeye salmon, however, did have lower Ucrit than control or sham fish.
5% less than the mean Ucrit for control and sham fish (both groups were 48.6 cm s1 or 4.3 LF s1).

My principal interest is in the genetics of adaptation.
In general, my approach involves examination of the influence of variation in structure and expression of candidate genes on individual fitness and population persistence.
However, I am also involved in using molecular markers to examine social, population and phylogenetic structure in a range of animal species..
