Melody Mah
Research Manager​
​
Hello there! Apparently I can’t get enough of UNBC, as I’m now working as a Research Manager in the University’s Freshwater Fish Ecology Laboratory (FFEL) after completing my undergraduate degree in Wildlife and Fisheries here just last year. I was drawn to the FFEL by my desire to inform fisheries management in the face of climate change and other anthropogenic impacts. My hope is that—by supporting graduate students in the coordination and execution of their research projects on the thermal preferences, tolerances, and thermoregulatory capabilities of different fish populations—I can help enhance our understanding of these culturally, ecologically, and economically valuable species in ways that can be practically applied to the conservation of aquatic ecosystems.
