Dr. Pitcher is an expert on the behaviour, genetics and ecology of fishes, and has worked extensively to conserve native biodiversity (including the reintroduction of species at risk), to stock and preserve the health of economically-important game fishes and to improve the sustainability of aquaculture.

Dr. Pitcher and his students will develop and validate experimental protocols and statistical models for the Fish Health Toolkit to estimate changes in the overall population health of important Canadian freshwater fish species. This research will enable monitoring of vital health-related mechanisms crucial for fisheries management and conservation programs.

With increasing threats to the aquatic environment, it is essential that we also evolve our technologies to identify issues and potential solutions quickly.
