Fisheries and Aquatics

Located on the shore of scenic Lake Ontario and adjacent to the wetland-rich UNESCO world biosphere reserve of the Frontenac Arch, Queen’s University is ideally situated for research into freshwater ecology. The members of our Queen's University Freshwater Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Research Group (QUFFAS) conduct an exciting array of research including zooplankton ecology, population biology, ecotoxicology, paleolimnology, invasive species, fish physiology, and reproductive biology. In addition to extensive field work, we also conduct our studies in a sophisticated aquatic facility in the Biosciences Complex offering opportunities for a breadth of lab-based studies.
