Lars G. Rudstam

Ph.D - University of Stockholm - 1988
M.S. - University of Wisconsin-Madison - 1983
B.S. - University of Wisconsin-Madison - 1978

Lars Rudstam joined the Department of Natural Resources in 1992. He conducts research in Fisheries and Aquatic Science with an emphasis on fish and fisheries management. He is particularly interested in questions relating aquatic ecosystem dynamics to fish populations.

Research

His current research examines (i) effects of exotic invaders on aquatic ecosystem (zebra mussels, spiny water flea), (ii) dynamics of interacting fish populations and importance of cannibalism, and (iii) long-term dynamics of Oneida Lake fish and fisheries.
