|  | |  | | Research Interests:I have been studying various aspects of the tuna-dolphin problem in the eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) since coming to the SWFSC as a National Research Council Post-Doctoral Associate in 1983, directly after receiving my Ph.D. in Ecosystems Analysis from the Institute of Ecology at the University of Georgia. During my tenure here I have had the opportunity to investigate tuna and dolphin energetics, dolphin heat flux, fishery mortality estimation, various research vessel and tuna-vessel observer data conundrums, fishery modeling, fishery statistics, dolphin biometry, dolphin capture rates, methods of capturing tuna without involving dolphins, dolphin abundance estimation, dolphin hydrodynamics, dolphin growth and development, and most recently, ecosystem-focused investigations of net tow data, critical habitat designation, and integration of population assessment with ecosystem-based management. | Selected Publications:Selected Publications for Elizabeth F.
