Peter Cranford is an oceanographer and marine ecologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. His research has focused on quantifying aquaculture environmental interactions to improve our understanding of the environmental dependence and effects of shellfish and finfish aquaculture. As a government scientist, his work is conducted to provide practical knowledge and expertise that can be used to support decisions by the Canadian government and international collaborators on the development of effective area-wide management strategies for promoting the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. He has been actively involved in applying international research in the development of integrated, ecosystem-based management approaches for aquaculture through participation with national and international organizations. He previously chaired the ICES working group on marine shellfish culture and was the first Science Advice Chair of the ICES working group on aquaculture. He is currently a contributing editor of the journal “Aquaculture Environment Interactions”.

Peter Cranford research has addressed three primary objectives i.e. determine the ecological roles of open-water cultured bivalve populations, including their influence on ecosystem structure and function; provide predictive relationships for bivalve responses to natural and human-induced stresses; and develop approaches and methodologies for assessing, monitoring and managing environmental interactions with bivalve and fish aquaculture in coastal marine ecosystems

Junda Lin is a Director for Institute for Marine Research (IMR). IMR was designed to coordinate the management of shared marine facilities in the university, including the Vero Beach Marine Laboratory (http://research.fit.edu/vbml/) and the Evinrude Marine Operations Center (http://research.fit.edu/anchorage/). It also encourages inter-disciplinary research and integrates marine related activities with external governmental and non-governmental institutions, foundations, agencies and industry

Junda Lin lab focus is to develop aquaculture technology for marine ornamental species. Virtually all of the marine fishes and invertebrates marketed in the aquarium trade industry are collected from coral reef ecosystems. Extensive and destructive collection of these animals can directly deplete the target species that already under threat from habitat loss or degradation and indirectly damage the delicate coral reef ecosystem. Aquaculture of marine ornamental species is recognized as a viable alternative to wild collection
