معرفی
Aaron Fisk is a Professor and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Trophic Ecology at the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research (GLIER), part of the School of the Environment at the University of Windsor. His research focuses on trophic ecology, using chemical tracers (stable isotopes, fatty acids) and acoustic telemetry to study fish movement, habitat use, and food web dynamics across freshwater and Arctic marine ecosystems. He holds a Ph.D. in Soil Science from the University of Manitoba (1998), and M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Windsor (1994, 1991).
Key research areas include the Laurentian Great Lakes, Arctic marine systems, and invasive species impacts. His work has been funded through federal grants, including leadership in the Real-Time Aquatic Ecosystem Observation Network (RAEON), and collaborations with institutions like the Canadian Arctic and U.S. Great Lakes agencies.
Dr. Fisk has advised numerous graduate students and postdocs, including Sarah Larocque (PhD), Nathan Drouillard (M.Sc.), and Lydia Paulic (M.Sc.). His awards include the 2015 Pew Marine Fellowship and the Canada Research Chair. Current projects involve tracking fish movements in the Detroit River, restoring bloater populations in Lake Ontario, and studying Arctic cod behavior under climate change.
Publications span trophic interactions, contaminant dynamics, and conservation strategies. His lab integrates fieldwork, biotelemetry, and stable isotope analysis to address ecological challenges in aquatic systems.
