Lab head

Dr Harriet Goodrich
Lecturer in Fish Physiology
Harriet is a comparative and environmental physiologist who studies the physiological mechanisms that shape fish performance and resilience. Her work examines how environmental change and human-wildlife interactions, including fishing and ocean warming, alter fish phenotypes, and what that means for the vulnerability and persistence of populations.
