Andrew Esbaugh is a professor in the Department of Marine Science at the University of Texas at Austin. He obtained his PhD from Queen's University in 2005, following a Bachelor of Science with Honours from Acadia University in 2001. His research interests are primarily focused on fish physiology, particularly in the areas of environmental physiology and toxicology. He investigates how marine fish adapt to changing environments, emphasizing respiratory gas exchange, acid-base balance, and osmoregulation. Esbaugh's major research pursuits include assessing the physiological responses of fish to climate change and ocean acidification, and examining the toxic effects of environmental pollutants such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons on fish. He has a keen interest in the evolutionary mechanisms that underlie respiratory gas exchange in water-breathing animals and the impacts of anthropogenic changes on aquatic ecosystems. His work has significant implications for understanding how fish populations might cope with climate-related stressors, and he has published extensively on the subject.
