Postdoctoral Fellows
Dr. Hannah Murphy (MUN: 2013-2016)
Hannah was a postdoctoral with Dominique who worked on quantifying how variability in larval capelin growth impact survival and recruitment. She was also involved in the satellite tagging of Atlantic halibut. She currently holds a Research Scientist position at the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Centre, Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
​
​
Dr. Ilhan Yandi (MUN: 2014-2015)
Ilhan was a visiting postdoctoral fellow who collaborated with Dominique on developing a technique for rearing larval capelin, a forage fish of high ecological importance in Northwest Atlantic marine ecosystems. He currently holds a Maritime Faculty position at Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Turkey.
MSc Students
Violaine Shikon (MUN: 2015-2018 )
Co-supervisors: David Schneider (MUN) and Pierre Pepin (DFO)
Violaine's Master’s research was supported by an NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarship and focused on the comparison in ichthyoplankton assemblage and larval capelin growth dynamics between the White and Notre Dame Bay region, and Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.
​
Carissa Wilson (née Currie) (MUN: 2013-2016 )
Co-supervisors: Christina Bourne and Pierre Pepin (DFO)
Carissa completed her thesis on the role of interannual variability in prey availability during the larval stage in driving year-class strength of Newfoundland Atlantic herring. She currently holds a biologist position with G3 Consulting Ltd. in Vancouver, BC.

​
Frederick Tulk (MUN: 2014-2018 )
Main advisor: Noel Cadigan (MUN)
Fred completed Master's degree focused on the use of co-variability in recruitment patterns as a tool for testing the assumption that the current Atlantic cod management units surrounding Newfoundland consider separate populations as opposed to mixed populations. He currently holds a Biologist position at the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Centre, Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
Master II student
Lola Coussau (Université de Bordeaux: 2017)
During her final French Master's internship, Lola developed a technique for analysing the otolith microstructure of one-year-old mackerel juveniles using a Keyence digital microscope. She is currently a PhD student at UQAR-ISMER assessing the connectivity of juvenile redfish in the Gulf of St. Lawrence using otolith chemistry.
Undergraduate student
Manuelle Beaudry-Sylvestre (UQAR: 2017-2018)
Supported by an NSERC Undergraduate Student research Award, Manuelle completed a microthesis that consisted in the description of early life history and otolith increment formation in rock gunnel (Pholis gunellus), an ubiquitous but poorly described fish in the St. Lawrence maritime estuary. She is planning to complete her BSc degree in 2019.
