Hi! I'm Kim.
I'm what they call a fish ecophysiologist - I study fish ecology and physiology within an applied context. I am generally interested in the when and why fish are vulnerable. Temperature? Catch-and-release? Exhaustive anaerobic exercise? Critical habitats? All of the above!? I'm interested in figuring out the limits that fish can withstand and the mechanisms that set these limits, and the habitats they depend on.
I like to do my work mostly out in the wild, so you'll generally find me putting fish in tupperware containers (running respirometry) or on a boat tagging.
