Lisa joined the Cooke Lab in September, 2006
while conducting her undergraduate thesis research.
Since graduating from her B.Sc. in 2007, Lisa
has been working with the Cooke Lab as a Lab Manager.
The focus of Lisa's work is to aid in the planning
and organization of a national Fisheries and Oceans
workshop in Ottawa, ON. The workshop is intended
to explore the development of a National Research
Network to assess the impacts of altered flow
regimes on riverine ecosystems in Canada. The
National Research Network will integrate government,
industry and academia allowing for the creation
of new collaborative research linkages. Such linkages
act to coordinate activities among all stakeholders
thus positioning Canada as a world leader in river
stewardship and sustainable hydropower, making
Canada a key source of knowledge and innovation
on this topic.
In addition to her involvement with the Fisheries
and Oceans workshop, Lisa has also been involved
with fish sampling for a species at risk project
in the Rideau River for Parks Canada, and telemetry
research on muskellunge, carp and largemouth bass
in lakes throughout the Rideau Canal system. All
of this research involves fish sampling techniques
including electrofishing, trap netting, hoop netting,
seining, and rod-and-reel sampling.
Other Information
Lisa is a Cooke Lab alumni having graduated with
a B.Sc. High Honours in Environmental Science
from Carleton University in April 2007. She completed
her Honours thesis project with Dr. Cooke entitled
"Linking the physiological status of largemouth
bass (Micropterus salmoides) with behaviour and
fate following catch-and-release angling: the
roles of air exposure duration and water temperature."
The details of her research can be found in the
'Lab Alumni' section of the website.
