By Bill Lindberg, PhD, Associate Director, Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Program

In the six months since our last edition of WaterWorks, the faculty of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (FAS), along with colleagues in the School of Forest Resources and Conservation (SFRC) and stakeholder representatives, began several related conversations about the future. Our aspirations are high and we know there is much to do to fulfill these expectations. Yet our optimism is also high. One reason for that optimism is our graduate students…

past, present, and future. The following pages feature just a few of our past graduate students to illustrate the variety of career paths taken after their degrees. Heather Hamlin’s path illustrates how passion and the Ph.D. led to a tenured faculty position in Maine, doing what she loves. Adam Munson’s path combined engineering expertise with an M.S. in FAS to become a Senior Lecturer in UF’s Warrington College of Business. Cecil Jennings’ doctorate helped prepare him for a career with the USGS Coop Unit at the University of Georgia, bridging academic and federal agency roles. As one of our early Master’s degree recipi-ents, Judy Biss dedicated herself to Exten-sion education and became a leader at the county level. Chuck Hanlon’s M.S. served as the springboard for a Water Management District career, continuing his focus on habi-tat management. Eric Nagid’s M.S. led to a similar career path with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

Greetings, Friends!

As a Senior Biologist and Commercial Production Manager at Mote Marine Laboratory’s Aquaculture Park, Dr. Heather Hamlin was becoming keenly aware of the importance of research for the advancement of commercial aquaculture production. She knew that progress, if any, would be slow without the same scientific rigor that had been advancing other sectors of agriculture. Although she was working full-time at Mote, she decided to pursue a Ph.D. in the Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Program at UF to provide her with the research skills and competencies she thought would be crucial to the advancement of the aquaculture industry. Working full-time at Mote while simultaneously pursuing her degree was challenging, but it gave her an oppor-tunity to more fully appreciate the real-world applications of her studies. In fact, her Ph.D. centered around questions that would improve the culture of Siberian sturgeon, a key species of interest at Mote’s Aquaculture Park. Her research

sought to understand how nitrate, a nitrogenous waste

product that can build to relatively high levels in recirculating

aquaculture systems, could alter the reproductive health of the fish residing in the systems. At the same time, a world-renowned UF researcher in the Department of Biology and Ecology, Dr. Louis Guillette, was also examining questions related to nitrate exposure in aquatic wildlife, including American alligators. Working with Drs. Guillette and Ruth Francis-Floyd, Heather applied

endocrinological approaches used to study repro-ductive dysfunction in wildlife and applied this to aqua-

culture species. After graduating in 2007, Heather spent the next 3 years as a Postdoctoral Associate in Dr. Guillette’s laboratory, using

alligators as a model to study how environmental contaminants, like nitrate, can impact reproduc-tive health. This provided an excellent opportunity to

continue to think about her interest in aquaculture in the context of approaches used in other disciplines. Dr. Guillette and his research and mentorship had a profound impact on her future research approach. Following her postdoc, Heather took a position as an Assistant Professor at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, focusing on maternal-fetal health. While this may seem like an unlikely transition, MUSC had begun a new program located primarily at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, dedicated to understanding

how alternative models, like aquatic animals, could be used to answer

Heather Hamlin

questions related to human health. This was a fantastic

opportunity to further broaden her skills using unique approaches to address a variety of research inquiries, and fully embrace “big picture” implications. Dr. Hamlin grew up in Maine, where she received her B.S. in Biology and an M.S. in Marine Bio-Resources from the University of Maine, the state’s flagship university. While snowy winters may not be appealing to everyone, Heather longed to get back to New England, so when a faculty position in aquaculture was announced at U-Maine, she was eager to apply. The university was investing in aquaculture, and had established the Aquaculture Research Institute (ARI), to which she would become one of the first hires. As an ARI member, she was able to choose her home department, and began to establish her research

program in the School of Marine Sciences in 2011.

Atlantic salmon support the most economically important

aquaculture sector in Maine, so choosing to address problems in the salmon industry became an early priority. Heather attended the Salmonid Hatchery Roundtable, an annual forum for salmonid producers in the region to discuss struggles in the hatchery process. At this meeting they described a decline in the survival of Atlantic salmon embryos. Consistent survival of 80-90% more than 10 years ago had dropped to around 50% today, and was a significant bottleneck in the hatchery process.

Success with grants through the Maine Aquaculture Innovation Center and the USDA supported her

research in this area. Her work with salmon has now expanded to address alternative thera-

pies for the treatment of sea lice, the most

economically important problem in their commercial culture.

The skills she learned in graduate school in Florida, including the ability to take research approaches from a wide variety of disciplines and apply it to commercially important species has been extremely valuable.

The Florida LAKEWATCH Program follows the Land Grant ethic with components of teaching, research and extension. Over the 30 plus years of Florida LAKEWATCH’s existence it has worked with over 35 graduate students, all on some aspect of lake management. Many of these graduate students have excelled in their careers and here we highlight only a few of those successful LAKEWATCH students.

Adam Munson

LAKEWATCH SUPER ALUM

Adam earned his M.S degree from Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences in 1999. His thesis was

titled “Water clarity in Kings Bay/Crystal River, Florida.” A licensed Professional Engineer in the discipline of industrial engineering, Adam now teaches the under-graduate capstone course Operations and Supply Chain Management as well as a variety of graduate classes on the topics of optimization and empirical modeling, operations, database systems and project management. Adam is currently working as a Senior Lecturer in the Information Systems and Operations Management at

Warrington College of Business, University of Florida.

Cecil A. Jennings

Florida Sea Grant Newell Scholarship

Florida Sea Grant launched a new scholarship opportunity this year called the Florida Sea Grant Newell Scholarship. It provides up to $1,000 of travel funds to Florida university students (BS, MS, PhD, JD) who use the funds to attend a professional conference to give a talk or poster. The application process is straightforward and we hope our students successfully compete for it. The program is very broad in its scope so students may be conducting research related to coastal ecosystems, sea-food, fisheries, aquaculture, resilient communities and coastal hazards.

Heather Hamlin From page 2

As a Maine native, Heather is also keenly aware of the importance of the American lobster, which not only supports the greatest fishery in Maine, but is a hallmark of

Maine’s cultural heritage. The ocean waters along Maine’s coast could be seen as “ground zero” for a rapidly changing climate, and are experiencing change at one of the fastest rates in the world. It is unclear how these changes could impact the lobster industry, so re-search aimed at understanding possible outcomes is an important part of her research. Much of her current work seeks to understand how increasing ocean acidification and tem-peratures alters the health of larval and sub-adult lobsters. The skills she learned in graduate school in Florida, including the ability to take research approaches from a wide variety of disciplines and apply it to commercially important spe-

cies has been extremely valuable. Heather received tenure in 2017, and credits

some of her success to her graduate experience in IFAS, and she looks forward to using those skills to advance commercial production in Maine.

Sharon Fitz-Coy Memorial Award

Sharon Fitz-Coy, SFRC Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (FAS) Pro-gram senior biologist for 23+ years, unexpectedly passed away in 2016. Sharon was the "Jamaican mother" for many graduate students over the years. As

education coordinator for “Fishing for Success,” Sharon personally conducted face-to-face hands-on outdoor educa-tion programs for over 150,000 children and their parents. She likely introduced more children to fishing than any other person in Florida. Sharon always greeted folks with a big smile, a laugh, and a will to get things done! In honor of Sharon’s commitment to youth, an endowment, the Sharon Fitz-Coy Memorial Award, was established, with proceeds from the endowment awarded annually to UF students making an impact on youth in their community. This fall, 26 students applied for the award, which was presented at the 11 November FAS Family Fishing Day, which honored veterans and Sharon. This year’s recipients are Keara Clancy, a junior in Wildlife Ecology and Conser-vation ($500), and Amanda Desormeaux, a PhD student in the UF School of Natural Resources and the Environment ($250). Over time, we hope the endowment grows so that a larger scholarship can be provided to deserving students. Donations (tax deductible) can be made payable to UF Foundation, Inc. and sent to UF/IFAS Development, P.O. Box 110170, Gainesville, FL 32611-0170. Please note Sharon Fitz-Coy in the memo area.
