Research Interests
Dr. Greg Stunz is an Endowed Associated Research Professor at the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies and Associate Professor of Marine Biology in the College of Science and Technology. His main research interests are in marine biology with an emphasis in fisheries and marine ecology. More specifically, he is interested in understanding the relative value of habitat for aquatic organisms. Much of his research is directed towards determining temporal and spatial distributions of fishes as well as the causes and consequences of habitat use. Current and prior research projects include ecological studies in the Gulf of Mexico’s estuarine and pelagic waters, Costa Rican rainforests, the rocky intertidal zones of Maine, and Caribbean coral reefs.
Current active projects:
- Ecology of sharks at Padre Island National Seashore
- Testing hypotheses on red snapper survival and stock and recruitment patterns
- Effects of hypoxia on estuarine fishes in their nursery habitats
- Using ultrasonic acoustic telemetry to track movement patterns of fish species
- Oyster reef as essential fish habitat
