Greetings from the Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Program!

As I write my first letter for WaterWorks, I reflect on how excited and privileged Iam to have the opportunity to serve as leader of our program and to furthergrow its scope and reputation. Our program is uniquely comprehensive in itscoverage of marine and freshwater environments; the fundamental and appliedecological, fisheries, aquaculture and related economic and social sciences; andits tripartite mission of research, teaching and extension. These strengths arefurther augmented by our links within SFRC and with many other individuals andunits across UF. We are home to the nation’s most comprehensive distanceeducation program in the field, which gives us unique opportunities to interactwith and train the workforce of many state and federal agencies. Last but notleast, we are home to LAKEWATCH, perhaps the longest-running and mostimpactful citizen science program in the aquatic realm. Being able to marshaland integrate multiple disciplines and approaches will be increasingly importantfor addressing the future challenges of fisheries and aquatic resourcemanagement, and we are in an excellent position to take a lead in this endeavor.

As we grow our program, we are fortunate to be able to recruit or affiliateoutstanding new faculty on a regular basis. Three of our newest faculty areintroducing themselves in this edition of Waterworks: Ed Camp, who specializesin fisheries and aquaculture governance research and extension, David Chagaris,

Director’s LetterIn this Issue:

affiliate faculty whose research is focused on ecosystem-based fisheries management, and Lindsey Reisinger, whoseresearch and teaching are focused on freshwater benthic ecology.

The graduate student symposium is a perennial highlight on the program calendar. This year’s symposium, held onFebruary 22nd, had a particularly impressive lineup of presentations and posters from all areas of the program. With somany excellent contributions, it was difficult to decide on the best presentation and poster awards, but award we did!Congratulations to the recipients of these and other awards for student and faculty excellence!

Aquaculture was a major theme at this year’s Florida State Fair and our aquaculture faculty, staff and students have beenout in force, educating the public about this industry and our program with a major exhibit. Aquaculture is likely to growsubstantially in Florida over the next years and it’s good to be on the forefront of this development.

Up next on our calendar is the SFRC Spring Celebration at Austin Cary Forest. The Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Programwill be there with research and extension demonstrations, program information and of course, many of our faculty andgraduate students. Please join us for this exciting occasion if you can!

Finally, please join me in thanking my predecessor as program leader, Bill Lindberg, for his decades of distinguishedservice and for leaving the program in excellent shape!

Thanks for your interest in our program and we hope that you enjoy this issue of WaterWorks! Kai

Meet the FacultyIn the past 2 years, the Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Program has gained several fantastic new faculty members. Read on to learn more about their teaching, research, and extension programs.

ED CAMP“I am a father, a scientist, a fisherman, and a person who enjoys analyses.”

I try to analyze the world andespecially conflict-ridden naturalresource issues objectively, but I alsorealize complete objectivity isn’t possible.I try to balance my quest for objectivity withoptimism, though sometimes this proves astruggle. In more optimistic moments, I believethat outcomes of challenging conflicts—likewho gets to harvest the most red snapper, orhow to sustain oyster populations now or in thefuture—can be improved through carefulwork—whether that work occurs in front of acomputer or among people. When I am notworking, I prefer to spend my time with myfamily, fishing, or running. My favorite peopleare my wife and daughter, my favorite fish is theredfish (though I am also partial to brook trout),and I am increasingly slow.

Professionally, I am a second-year assistantprofessor of Fisheries and AquacultureGovernance in the Program of Fisheries andAquatic Sciences, with a position appointed as60% extension and 40% research. The goal ofmy extension program is to help governanceinstitutions realize more desirable ecologicaland socioeconomic outcomes of fisheries andaquaculture systems. The target audience formy extension is largely management agenciesand extension agents, but also includes

. fisheries or aquaculture industrygroups. My extension outputs

include policy documents,model-based decision supporttools, and user-friendlyanalysis and data visualizationprogram, as well as extensionpublications, in service

trainings, and workshops.

One of the Extension programs Ispend the most time on now is

s developing better tools for Sea Grant agentsworking with recreational fisheries. At a timewhen most of the public expects access to data,and when myriad really well-collected fisheriesdata exist, it is exceedingly difficult for evenwell-trained fisheries professionals to findseemingly simple information aboutrecreational fisheries, like which species aremost targeted in different regions, or whereanglers travel to and from (which affects fishpopulations as well as economic impact of localcommunities). I write programs to query thisinformation and translate it into simple figures


and tables for agents to provide tostakeholders or local governments. I writeprograms to query this information andtranslate it into simple figures and tables foragents to provide to stakeholders or localgovernments. I am working with agents toevaluate the potential effects of this program,such as increased efficiency in advertising bylocal tourism and visitation board, enhancedrelevancy of stakeholder organizations likeFlorida Sea Grant, and potentially even changehow stakeholders view the managementagencies responsible for providing these data.

Another program works with statemanagement agencies to actually changepolicies related to fish and aquaculture. Rightnow I’m working with FWC Division of MarineFisheries Management and oyster harvesters inthe Big Bend region of Florida to developadditional or alternative managementapproaches suitable for sustaining ecosystemservices that oysters provide, as well asallowing local harvesters the maintain theirlivelihoods.

The research of my lab focuses onunderstanding how governance decisionsaffect fish and the people who depend onthem. This work is inherently interdisciplinary,melding ecological, natural resource, andeconomic methods to develop quantitative andstatistical models for evaluating currentgovernance actions, or developing newapproaches. The context for this research is

diverse, including recreational, commercial,and subsistence wild fisheries and aquaculturesystems from around the world. I work toensure my research compliments myextension. For example, a number of thestudents I work with are focusing theirgraduate research on oyster-related topics,such as oyster aquaculture dynamics, wildoyster harvest management strategies,potential ecosystem services oysters provide,and predator-prey interactions betweenoysters and gastropods. Other projects thatmeld research and extension include workstudying unintended consequences of artificialreef deployment, or developing novel, spatiallyexplicit management strategies for increasingangler participation or restoring depleted fishpopulations with minimal losses to stakeholdersatisfaction. In the future, I hope to considerdifferent types of management actions too—things like better funding for stakeholdergroups, more concrete ways to incorporateend-user opinions in governance decisions, ormore direct communication betweenstakeholders. I am hopeful that more explicitconsideration of these stakeholder-centricoptions may allow a path for stakeholders toconsider management more positively.Ultimately, I think such approaches may offerthe greatest chance for diminishing theadversarial nature that has often typifiedfisheries and aquaculture governance. Irecognize the probability of such a change issmall, but I remain hopeful that it is possible.


Ecosystem-based fisheries management, orEBFM, seeks to maintain healthy, productive,and resilient fishery ecosystems by consideringinformation on multiple species, environmentalconditions, and socio-economics whendeveloping sustainable harvest policies. Myresearch focuses on fisheries ecology andecosystem modeling to understand howfisheries resources and marine ecosystemsrespond to harvest and environmental change.To that end, I develop original populationdynamic and ecosystem models that includeenvironmental drivers, food web dynamics,and habitat interactions. The overall goal ofmy research is to provide information and toolsthat enable managers, scientists, andstakeholders to become better stewards of ourshared natural resources.

I joined UF in 2015 as a research assistantprofessor with the IFAS Nature Coast BiologicalStation and became an affiliate faculty memberof FAS. Before moving to Gainesville, I was aresearch scientist at the FWC Fish and WildlifeResearch Institute in St. Petersburg where Ianalyzed fisheries data, conducted stockassessments, and developed ecosystemmodels to inform management of Florida’sfisheries. I earned a PhD from the University ofFlorida in 2013, and for my dissertation Ideveloped a food web model to investigatetrophic impacts of reef fish harvest policies onthe West Florida Shelf. I grew up in easternNorth Carolina and attended East CarolinaUniversity where I received B.S. and M.S.degrees in biology before moving to Florida in2006 to begin my career as a fisheriesscientist.

Currently I aminvolved in severalprojects that aimto integrateecologicalprocesses into

fisheriesassessment and

management. Foodweb models are being

applied to study the lionfish invasion in the Gulfof Mexico, where densities are among thehighest in their invaded range. The modelshelp us understand how lionfish impacted therecovery of small reef fish following theDeepwater Horizon Oil Spill disaster, provideestimates of target harvest rates for lionfishthat mitigate impacts to native fishcommunities, and test the frequency andspatial arrangement of Lionfish removalefforts. In an ongoing project funded by theNOAA RESTORE Science Program, ecosystemmodels are being refined and updated toinform fisheries management in the Gulf ofMexico. Here, we will estimate food webimpacts of harvesting Gulf menhaden, animportant forage fish for many predators andthe largest fishery in the Gulf. We also plan touse the models to inform assessment andmanagement reef fish by accounting forpredation and competition among managedspecies and quantifying red tide impacts onspecies and food webs on the West FloridaShelf.

The size of each node is proportional to the biomass in that group andthe thickness of each line is proportional to energy flow between nodes.


This work involves collaborators from UF,NOAA, and George Mason University withparticular emphasis on providing timely andactionable advice for management.

I am also currently working on an importantproject involving Atlantic menhaden, whichsupport the largest fishery on the U.S. EastCoast. The central conflict in managing theAtlantic menhaden fishery deals with theprovisioning of menhaden production toharvest versus leaving enough biomass to meetconsumptive demands of predators. Thisproject is funded by the Lenfest Ocean Programand includes collaborators from the Universityof Maryland and Humboldt State University.Here, we are using ecosystem models of varyinglevels of complexity to recommend newmanagement reference points that account foreffects of menhaden harvest on predatorpopulations and marine food webs.

At the moment, I have three FAS PhD studentsin my lab. Dylan Sinnickson is conductingresearch in Cedar Key to understand howchanges in freshwater flow, oyster restoration,and climate-induced species distribution shiftswill affect coastal food webs and sport fishpopulations in Florida’s Big Bendregion. Shanae Allen plans to explore methodsto infer red tide-induced mortality on coastaland offshore fishes in the eastern Gulf ofMexico, using both empirical data analysis andspatially explicit food web modeling. DanielVilas’ research aims to improve our ability tomodel ecosystem dynamics through robustvalidation of spatial predictions and inclusion ofspatially-explicit environmental forcingfunctions on fish habitat.

Over the next few years we will work to improvefisheries ecosystem models and integrate theminto the decision making process. This willrequire close coordination with fisheriesmanagers to ensure model outputs are alignedwith management needs as well ascollaborations with researchers in the field to

better integrate data collection programs withmodel development. Ultimately, the ecosystemmodels developed in my lab will improve ourunderstanding of the effects of harvest andenvironmental change on marine ecosystemsand advance ecosystem-based fisheriesmanagement in the region while training futuregenerations of fisheries scientists.

LINDSEYREISINGER

I am a freshwater community ecologist, and myresearch program is focused on benthicinvertebrates, invasive species, and behavioralecology. I use benthic invertebratecommunities to examine how natural andhuman-driven environmental change affectsfreshwater ecosystems. I have also often usedfreshwater crayfish as a model system toinvestigate questions in ecology and evolution.In particular, I am interested in how evolutionover short timescales alters the traits ofspecies and their ecological impacts. Inaddition, I study interactions between nativeand invasive species, especially those betweenparasites and their hosts.

I have been a Research Assistant Professor inFisheries and Aquatic Sciences for a little overa year. Prior to coming to Florida, I was apostdoctoral researcher at Central MichiganUniversity’s Institute for Great Lakes Research.I obtained my PhD in 2015 from the Universityof Notre Dame, and my MS in 2009 from theUniversity of Georgia.

Benthic invertebrates are commonly used asindicators of water quality, and they are criticalfor energy flow and nutrient cycling infreshwater ecosystems. Thus, my researchfocuses on benthic invertebrate communitycomposition to examine environmentalimpacts in freshwater ecosystems. Forexample, I recently collected benthicinvertebrates from Florida stormwaterretention ponds across a managementgradient, to investigate how managementaffects freshwater biodiversity in urbanlandscapes. In addition, I will examine theeffects of prescribed fire on freshwater

ecosystems this springby collecting benthic

invertebrates fromwetlands in fire-managed andfire-suppressedFlorida

landscapes. Whileprescribed fire is

instrumental inmanaging forest

ecosystems in thesoutheastern USA, our knowledge of itsimpacts on freshwater ecosystems is severelylimited. In the future, I plan to continue to usebenthic invertebrate communities to assessenvironmental impacts and can adapt thisapproach to study new questions of interest.

My research program also focuses on benthicinvertebrates as invasive species.Understanding the conditions that affect thesuccess and impacts of invasive species isessential for managing today’s ecosystems,but invasions also provide natural experimentsthat are powerful tools for investigatingquestions in ecology and evolution. Forexample, invasions can provide insight into theimportance of parasites in ecologicalcommunities.

My past research has focused on the effects ofa trematode parasite on the abundance,behavior, and ecological impacts of invasiverusty crayfish. My work suggests that thistrematode reduces crayfish population growthand alters crayfish behavior, so that infectedcrayfish are more vulnerable to predation. Sincetrematodes are trophically-transmitted, thisparasite may alter crayfish behavior as anadaptation to increase transmission to highertrophic levels. My research also indicates thatbehavioral changes associated with infectionalter the impacts of invasive crayfish.Specifically, infection increases crayfish impactson macrophytes and benthic invertebrates inmesocosms. My future research in this area willfocus on the importance of parasitism infreshwater communities, particularly the trait-mediated effects of parasites. I am alsointerested in investigating the potential to usenative parasites to control the abundance ofinvasive crayfish.

Invasions can also enhance our understanding of the ecological consequences of evolution that occurs rapidly on ecological timescales, and my past research has focused on divergence across native and invasive populations of crayfish. I found that rusty crayfish from invasive

populations grow more rapidly than those from native populations (when raised in common conditions) by investing in foraging over predator avoidance. This same latitudinal pattern in behavior is present in virile crayfish, so this may be an adaptation to the length of the growing season.

I recently received a grant to expand this work.Differences in traits among species are widelyunderstood to influence key ecosystemprocesses. However, human activities are alsorapidly altering traits within species at a globalscale. Therefore, it is critical to determinewhether variation in traits within species isimportant for ecosystem processes. Startingthis summer, I will investigate whetherintraspecific variation in behavioral traits acrossthe range of two species of crayfish affectsstream ecosystem functions (leaf litterdecomposition, nutrient cycling, andmetabolism) and is predictably associated withdifferences in environmental variables (resourceavailability, predation, and climate).

In addition to my research, I teach FreshwaterEcology, a course focused on freshwatercommunities and ecosystems that is open toboth graduate and undergraduate students. Iam also developing a graduate-level coursefocused on Global Change in FreshwaterEcosystems. I am excited to continue to developmy teaching and research programs at theUniversity of Florida and to build collaborationswith faculty in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciencesand across the University.
