During her time at UCSD, Rachel worked under the supervision of Dr. Stuart Sandin in his <a href=\"https:\/\/scripps.ucsd.edu\/labs\/sandin\/\">Coral Reel Ecology Lab<\/a> at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scripps.ucsd.edu\/\">Scripps Institution of Oceanography<\/a>.\u00a0 As an undergraduate researcher, Rachel assisted with dissecting and collecting life history information on a variety of reef fishes form the Northern Line Islands. Rachel later worked with PhD student, Noah Ben-Aderet on his research studying the life history and spatial movements of Yellowtail (<em>Seriola lalandi<\/em>) in the Southern California Bight. For her senior thesis, Rachel investigated using stable isotope analysis to determine general catch location (offshore vs. inshore) of Yellowtail\u00a0in the Southern California Bight.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel joined the Ichthyology Lab at <a href=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/\">Moss Landing Marine Laborat<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/\">ories<\/a> (MLML) in the fall of 2016. Her research interests include general life history and the top-down effects of fishing pressure on fish communities. For her thesis, Rachel is examining the spatial variability in life history and demography of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fisheries.noaa.gov\/species\/canary-rockfish\">Canary Rockfish<\/a> (<em>Sebastes pinniger<\/em>) along the U.S. West Coast. For the past two years, she has been working collaboratively with sportfishing boat captains, deckhands and volunteer anglers to collect fishery-independent data for Canary Rockfish across high-relief rocky reef habitats.<\/p>\n<p>Although not an \u201cofficial\u201d member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/fisheries\/\">Fisheries and Conservation Biology Lab<\/a> at MLML, Rachel enjoys crashing their lab meetings every other week and working for the <a href=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ccfrp\/\">California Collaborative Fisheries Research Project<\/a>. When she's not in the lab, you can find Rachel diving, hiking, and baking!<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1559 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/IMG_3310-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/IMG_3310-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2017\/09\/IMG_3310-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3615 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/IMG_4234-1-e1547836250618-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/IMG_4234-1-e1547836250618-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/IMG_4234-1-e1547836250618-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3618\" src=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/Rachel1-231x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/Rachel1-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/Rachel1.jpg 709w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3620\" src=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/IMG_6538-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"398\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/IMG_6538-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/IMG_6538-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/ichthyology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2016\/07\/IMG_6538-1024x768.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Rachel Brooks Rachel graduated from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in 2015 with a B.S. in Marine Biology.
