Scientist
Our friend, senior fisheries biologist Dr. Sherrylynn Rowe, prepares to clean an Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) at Petty Harbour, Newfoundland.
Dr. Rowe's science focusses on stock assessment and related research involving ecology and life history of groundfish and marine invertebrates. She has also examined linkages between spawning behaviour and population dynamics of Atlantic Cod and the role of marine protected areas in enhancing lobster populations and fisheries.
Her work takes her to Fogo Island at the northeast tip of Newfoundland, where she is assisting the local fishing community in assessing cod stocks.
Petty Harbour is a beautiful little community not far from St. John's and is worth dropping by for a visit. It's both a working fishing town, and a tourist destination with a small aquarium and good restaurants.
Photo note: Serendipity often brings an image together - in this case Dr. Rowe's work outfit matches the wooden sea wall and the outfit's yellow straps match the yellow railings on the wharf.
