Brendan has research interests in the biology of freshwater fish
biology generally, and specifically in the use of stable isotopes
to elucidate aquatic food webs, migrational history of fish through
otolith microchemistry, and genomic techniques. Examples of
publications on these topics include the influence of land use on
fish distribution and diet, marine-derived nutrient inputs by coho
salmon
to coastal Alaskan environments, and the influence of forestry on
fish. Brendan is Deputy Director of the Waikato Stable Isotope Unit, a
successful mass spectrometry suite that provides analyses of stable
isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to a wide variety of commercial and
research clients.
