JACOB BURBANK

I am a fish ecologist and Research Scientist at Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Moncton, New Brunswick . I recently completed my PhD supervised by Dr. Michael Power at the University of Waterloo and Dr. D. Andrew R. Drake from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. 

​

My PhD research focused on the life-history, ecology and conservation of fish. I  explored the impacts of urbanization and other threats on the population demographics, feeding habits and ecology of imperilled fishes. 

​

My research program focuses on using traditional and contemporary fisheries science approaches to improve the management of fishes in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence.
