About me:

I am a fisheries biologist in Yellowknife, Canada. I specialize in fish photography (including underwater). I also spend much time working on scientific illustrations of char and trout.

I did my MSc in Zoology (Ichthyology) at University of Guelph. This was followed by a PhD (Fisheries) at University of Georgia (UGA) in the United States. My fish interests include osteology, taxonomy and general life history. I know every bone in the head of a Cisco and how they differ between species. I may be the only North American (Russians know some of this) with this strange interest so if I drown tomorrow, good luck sorting it out. Most of my work projects over the last decade involved Coregonid (Whitefish, Cisco, Inconnu) spawning habitat and migration timing. From 2017 to 2020, I worked on Pacific Salmon in the transboundary rivers of northwest British Columbia (based out of Fisheries and Oceans Canada office in Whitehorse), but recently moved back to Yellowknife. I am also fascinated with paleo-ichthyology (fossil fishes).
