Members
The Physiology Section is made up of two types of members:
Regular members- who also are members of the American Fisheries Society
Associate members-who are not members of the American Fisheries Society, but have expressed an interest in Section membership either directly, or by registration at one of the Symposia sponsored by the Section.
Looking for someone?
The American Fisheries Society maintains an up to date directory of all AFS members in all Divisions, Chapters and Sections. If you are looking for someone, you can perform an online search for them at the AFS Directory. Search>
What's happening?
Since the Section has over 500 members, we can't really post what everyone is doing here, but here's a sampling of some of the people involved, what their area of interest/research is, and a link to their personal sites for further information.
| Terence Barry | Dr. Barry's research focuses on areas such as endocrinology of fish reproductive, developmental and growth systems, general Aquaculture of cool-water (perch and walleye) and cold-water (salmonids) fish, stress physiology of fish, endocrine mechanisms mediating the post spawning death of Pacific salmon and effects of xenobiotic endocrine disruptors on fish reproduction and stress.
|
| Colin Brauner | Dr. Brauner is involved in research that broadly focuses on environmental adaptation, mechanistic and evolutionary, in relation to gas-exchange, acid-base balance and ion regulation in lower vertebrates, predominantly fish.
|
| Kurt Gamperl | Dr. Gamperl is a comparative physiologist whose main research interest is to understand how environmental and physiological variables interact to affect fish biology. In particular, he is interested in the role that blood oxygen transport, cardiac function, stress and humoral and/or biochemical factors play in mediating fish "performance" under varied environmental conditions.
|
| Steve McCormick | Dr. McCormick's research examines environmental and endocrine control of osmoregulation, growth and development in teleosts, primarily anadromous fishes. His current research focuses on physiological and enviromental factors that affect conservation, restoration and enhancement of Atlantic salmon, American shad and Atlantic sturgeon. This includes laboratory and field work on underlying physiological principles, and applied work with pollution, hatcheries, dams and with wild populations.

| Reynaldo Patino | Dr. Patino undertakes research into areas such as fisheries science, aquaculture, aquatic ecophysiology, aquatic ecotoxicology and conservation biology |
