About the Lab

The lab is dedicated to conducting research on fish such as sharks, skates and rays. By gathering data such as movement patterns, growth rates, reproductive biology, resiliency to climate change and fishing pressure, Dr. James Sulikowski and his team of student researchers gain new and exciting insight, while also creating unique alternatives to manage, conserve and utilize fish populations

Our mission is to provide valuable research experience to undergraduate and graduate students, while also advancing the understanding of fish ecology and conservation.
