His senior thesis examined the effect that a La Nina event has on the primary productivity of phytoplankton in the equatorial Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating at the University of Washington, he worked at a number of different fisheries-related positions. Immediately following graduation, he moved out to Ashahka, ID where he worked as a field technician at Clearwater Fish Hatchery and Dworshak National Fish Hatchery. He then accepted a position at Tacoma Power (a public utilities company in WA) where he worked extensively on the Cowlitz River. His work examined\u00a0the effect that hydropower dams had on the migratory behavior of coho and Chinook salmon.<\/p>\n<p>He joined\u00a0Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in 2014. His\u00a0thesis project is looking at how\u00a0size-selective fishing affects the\u00a0reproductive output of\u00a0sex-changing fish. Sepcifically, he is interested in fish that change from female to male as they get older (known as protogynous hermaphrodites). Since many fisheries target the largest individuals in a population, they will tend to disproportionately remove males and skew the gender ratio in favor of females in these types of sex-changing fish. The limited number of males\u00a0could cause a drop in reproductive output in heavily fished populations of protogynous hermaphrodites. He recently returned from Santa Catalina Island where he was working on this project at\u00a0the Wrigley Marine Science Center.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-971\" src=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/11940328_10152899038980194_1398756679549748015_n-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/11940328_10152899038980194_1398756679549748015_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/11940328_10152899038980194_1398756679549748015_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/11940328_10152899038980194_1398756679549748015_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1010\" src=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/13323741_1758048084432907_8532283063771552999_o-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/13323741_1758048084432907_8532283063771552999_o-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/13323741_1758048084432907_8532283063771552999_o-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/13323741_1758048084432907_8532283063771552999_o-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/13323741_1758048084432907_8532283063771552999_o.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-966\" src=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/11866388_10152899040505194_5479769210237374751_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"206\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen graduated with a B.S. in Biological Oceanography from the University of Washington in 2012.
