Goodfish Lab

We work on fish, and how fish work.

We are a fish physiology lab at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies in nipaluna/Hobart. We use experimental biology to answer questions important to fish conservation, aquaculture production, and fisheries.

Research

What we ask, and why it matters to the fish.

The fish

Every species the lab has worked on, and the question we put to it.

People

Who is in the lab, and who we work with.

Current focus

Since 2024 the lab has led the experimental component of the $4.19M FRDC Sand Flathead Recovery Program, and contributes to the Blue Economy CRC Experimental Platforms for Aquaculture Production.
