معرفی
Andrea Morash is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Mount Allison University. Her office is located in Flemington 110, and she can be contacted via email at amorash@mta.ca or phone at (506) 364-3222. Her research focuses on the physiological responses of aquatic organisms to environmental stressors, with emphasis on thermal adaptation, metabolic performance, and conservation challenges in fish and endangered species.
Research Focus
Dr. Morash investigates how environmental factors like temperature fluctuations, hypoxia, and pollution impact aquatic physiology. Key themes include:
- Thermal tolerance mechanisms in salmonids and other fish
- Metabolic and cardiac adaptations to stress
- Conservation physiology of endangered elasmobranchs
- Impacts of nanoparticles and habitat degradation
- Hybrid vigor in aquaculture species
Publication Insights
Her recent work (2017–2025) demonstrates consistent focus on climate-driven physiological challenges, particularly thermal variability effects on fish performance. Studies frequently employ comparative approaches across species like Atlantic salmon, brook trout, and Maugean skate. Notable trends include methodological rigor in quantifying thermal limits, exploration of taurine's cardioprotective roles, and conservation applications for vulnerable ecosystems.
