Research
I am currently researching the simulation evaluation of CPUE standardisation methods and the design of tagging experiments with a particular focus on the tropical tunas of the Atlantic.   Further research aims include management strategy evaluation for Atlantic bigeye and yellowfin tuna.  I am also keen to describe bioeconomic models in order to get a better handle on the possible extent of IUU activity in the tuna fisheries of the Atlantic.

Position
Tom is currently a research associate at the Fisheries Centre, working with Dr Murdoch McAllister and Dr Rashid Sumaila.
