Age and Growth of Fishes, Estuarine Ecology and Fisheries Management
Dr. Dean's research has emphasized the age and growth of fishes in fresh water, estuarine and oceanic ecosystems. Most recently, he has been concentrating on the biology and management of yellowfin and bluefin tuna. Dr. Dean also has research interests in fishery resource management policies. Prof. Dean is no longer accepting graduate students and is concentrating on writing on the science of fish ecology’s participation in domestic and international fisheries management.
