Kathryn Peiman

Kathryn Peiman is a Research Fellow at Carleton University, affiliated with the Cooke Lab. Her expertise lies in behavioral ecology, migration dynamics, and physiological responses in aquatic species, with a focus on salmonids and sunfish. She integrates science-based evidence with outreach through photography, videography, and science communication via her YouTube channel NatureTidbits.

Her recent publications emphasize:

• Carryover effects in migratory fish
• Stable isotope analysis for tracking migration
• Impact of environmental stressors on aquatic physiology
• Conservation strategies for freshwater ecosystems
• Science communication and peer review processes

Kathryn collaborates extensively on interdisciplinary aquatic research and participates in conferences like the American Fisheries Society annual meetings (2024, 2025) and SCAS meetings (2023).
