Francis Juanes

Francis Juanes is Professor of Biology at the University of Victoria and holds the Liber Ero Chair for Fisheries Research. His lab studies fish ecology, marine acoustics, and conservation through field experiments and computational modeling.

Research examines predator-prey interactions in marine ecosystems, salmon migration ecology, bioacoustic monitoring techniques, and anthropogenic noise impacts on aquatic life. Work integrates behavioral ecology with conservation applications for sustainable fisheries.

Publications emphasize marine soundscape analysis, innovative acoustic monitoring methods, and evidence-based marine protected area design. Recent articles address global patterns in underwater acoustics and noise mitigation strategies.

Awarded the Liber Ero Chair for leadership in conservation-focused fisheries research. Supervises graduate students in marine ecology and maintains field research stations across British Columbia.
