Tom Staveley

I have a broad background in fresh, brackish and marine ecology with a specialised interest in marine landscape ecology concepts and applications. In particular, fish ecological connectivity using methods such as acoustic telemetry.

In my current role, I am working with Atlantic and pink salmon monitoring and management on the Swedish west coast, boat electrofishing, eDNA applications in fish ecology as well as maerl habitat ecology and conservation. I am also a member of the internationalistion group at SLU Aqua.
