Biography

John Post is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Calgary, specializing in the field of biological sciences, with a PhD in Zoology from York University. His research primarily focuses on understanding the processes that control growth and survival in juvenile fishes. With an extensive background in fish population biology, he employs whole lake experiments and laboratory simulations to address complex ecological dynamics. Post's work encompasses experimental studies on the interactions within size-structured fish populations and the impacts of environmental factors on species' growth and survival rates. He also investigates the effects of climate change on fish populations using bioenergetic models and conducts applied research on the management strategies for harvested fish stocks. An advocate for sustainable fisheries, his work bridges theoretical frameworks and practical applications to help restore and maintain fish populations for future generations. Post's contributions to the field extend through various publications which highlight significant findings in fisheries science, ensuring a lasting impact on both scientific research and community engagement in the conservation of aquatic ecosystems.
