Description: I am currently investigating the impacts (positive and negative) of the zebra mussel-round goby link to native gamefish and piscivorous birds of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. I have also examined how environmental factors like dissolved calcium limit the geographic spread of these mussels and gobies.
