Roles and expertise: Nathan completed his PhD in Parasitology from the University of Queensland in 2006. His project on the Great Barrier Reef involved the study of life-cycles of a large family of digenean trematodes, in which bivalves act as intermediate hosts. Prior to Nathan’s PhD studies, he studied the epidemiology of a virus of wild prawns and its infectivity to aquaculture species in South-east Queensland. He has also undertaken surveys of freshwater mussel populations near a mine to monitor bioaccumulation of heavy metals, conducted aquatic faunal surveys and applied environmental health criteria to his results. |
