Research interestsPeter is an ecologist with interests in marine and freshwater systems. He has a background in fish biology, fisheries bycatch and fish conservation, particularly in relation to the chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays and chimaeras). He is presently working with river food webs at the Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge (TRaCK http://www.track.gov.au/ ) research hub. He also has a special interest in the bird assemblages of riparian zones in the wet-dry tropics of northern Australia.
