Federal department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) members of the Cooperative Resource Management Institute
Michael Bradford
Research Scientist
Adjunct Professor, School of Resource and Environmental Management
E-mail: mbradfor@sfu.ca
Phone: 604 666-7912
Dr. Bradford is a quantitative ecologist who has worked on salmon
population dynamics, including the effects of human activities on
salmon-producing lakes and streams.Examples include the effects of
water-flow reductions on salmon in the Nechako River, the life
history of chinook salmon in the Fraser River watershed, causes
of population cycles in abundance of salmon, and the productivity
of coho salmon in fresh water. Dr. Bradford did a risk analysis for
coho salmon that became a part of the scientific basis for the 1998
changes to the B.C. salmon fishery. Ongoing projects include: (1)
field research on the biology of chinook salmon in the Yukon watershed,
and the effects of placer gold mining on Yukon streams, (2) a
meta-analytical model for managing coho salmon, and (3) the
development of a management model for temperature effects on Fraser River sockeye salmon.
J. Stevenson Macdonald
Research Scientist, DFO
Head Environment and Aquaculture Research Section, DSO CAER - West Vancouver
Adjunct Professor, REM and Faculty of Forestry, UBC
E-mail: macdonaldst@pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca
Phone: 604 666-7910
Dr. Macdonald’s primary research interests are trophic ecology and habitat science.
His research investigates ecosystem processes in watersheds subjected to development
pressures in the interior of B.C. He has also developed ecosystem based stock assessment
models for migrating salmon.
Erland MacIsaac
Research Biologist and Fish-Forestry Program Head, DFO
Adjunct Professor, School of Resource and Environmental Management
E-mail: eamac@sfu.ca
Phone: 604 666-7917
Mr. MacIsaac has worked extensively on marine productivity in coastal B.C. waters,
as well as habitat productivity and food-web dynamics in salmon-rearing freshwaters
throughout B.C. His current research focuses on the interactions between forestry
activities and fish habitat in the interior watersheds of B.C.
Herb Herunter
Research Biologist
E-mail: HerunterH@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
Phone: 604 666-6500
Mr. Herunter is a fisheries biologist who has worked on both freshwater
and
marine fish habitat issues. He has been involved with research and
assessments of
biophysical interactions and anthropogenic impacts. His current work
entails research
directed towards determining whether current forest practices
regulations in the province
of B.C. sufficiently protect fish habitat, especially in small stream
environments.
David
Patterson
Research Biologist
E-mail: pattersond@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
Phone: 604 666-5671
Mr. Patterson is the head of the Fraser
River Environmental Watch Program,
which monitors and forecasts Fraser River water conditions and researches
the impact of environmental conditions on migratory and reproductive success
of adult sockeye salmon. Science advice is provided to fisheries managers to
assist in the prediction of en-route loss and pre-spawning mortalities
associated with adverse river conditions.
Neil Schubert
Manager, Freshwater Ecosystems Section, Fisheries and Oceans Canada
E-mail: SchubertN@pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca
Phone: (604) 666-8452
Mr. Schubert is interested in topics related to salmon population dynamics,
fish stock assessment and species at risk. He manages research staff
located at SFU and at DFO’s
Cultus Lake Laboratory and works with academic,
government and private organizations to help develop new approaches to
predicting the impact of anthropogenic activities on freshwater fish
production systems.
Daniel Selbie
Research Scientist, and Head of the Lakes Research Group, Fisheries and Oceans Canada
Forum for Research and Extension in Natural Resources (FORREX) member of the Cooperative Resource Management Institute
Ajit Krishnaswamy
Socio-economics Extension Specialist
Adjunct Professor, School of Resource and Environmental Management
E-mail: ajit.Krishnaswamy @ forrex.org
Phone: (778) 782-8080
Dr. Krishnaswamy’s research interests are the human dimensions of natural resource
management. He has a Ph.D. in Forest Resources (Social Sciences) from the University
of Washington at Seattle. He has published several papers on community forestry, land use planning,
and international forest policy. Dr. Krishnaswamy’s job experience includes working as the Director
of the National Community Forestry Center at the National Network of Forest Practitioners in the
U.S; and for the Indian Forest Service in Bihar state.
