James R. Newton is a researcher affiliated with James Cook University, where he completed his PhD in 2013. His work focuses on understanding genetic and physiological adaptations in barramundi (Lates calcarifer), particularly thermal tolerance and temperature-related stress responses. Key research areas include transcriptome profiling, gene expression under heat stress, and population-level variations in thermal resilience.
His research integrates molecular biology, aquaculture, and marine genomics to address ecological and applied questions in fish physiology. Publications span peer-reviewed journals and his doctoral thesis, emphasizing the genetic basis of thermal adaptation in tropical fish species.
