Dr. Brynn Devine is starting the next chapter in her fisheries science career.

Armed with a Memorial University doctorate in biology and a 2019 Liber Ero post-doctoral fellowship, she’ll build upon some of the research she did at the Marine Institute’s (MI) Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER), where she completed her PhD work.

The fellowship will support her project to assess fisheries bycatch of species such as Greenland shark, Arctic skate and other deepwater fish to develop a modern, standardized monitoring framework for existing and emerging fisheries in the Eastern Canadian Arctic.
