V. Monica Bricelj
Research Professor
Shellfish/benthos ecophysiology, adaptations to harmful algae, Aquaculture
 email:
 phone: 848-932-9709
Education: Ph.D., Stony Brook University, New York
Research Interests:
Adaptive
strategies of marine, benthic invertebrates, especially commercially exploited
shellfish, to environmental stress (e.g. overwintering and harmful and toxic
algal blooms, including producers of domoic acid, paralytic shellfish poisoning
toxins, brevetoxins). Grazing interactions between toxic algae and
suspension-feeders.
Aquaculture and ecophysiology of bivalve
mollusks. Factors controlling their
reproduction, larval development and metamorphic success. Nutrition and
development of new diets. Development of behavioral, physiological and
biochemical indices of stress. Management
strategies for rehabilitation and stock enhancement of coastal shellfisheries.
Estuarine predator-prey dynamics and the role of submerged aquatic vegetation.
