Randy Jackson joined the Field Station in 2000. His research program focuses on fisheries assessment and management. He works closely with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to develop research projects that address statewide issues in fisheries management as well as contributing to the long-term research program on Oneida Lake.

Research

Current research focuses on (i) population dynamics of reintroduced lake sturgeon in Oneida Lake; (ii) long-term dynamics of the Oneida Lake fish community; and (iii) improvement of fisheries assessments, including sampling methods and creel census techniques. His past research has included studies of recruitment dynamics, predator-prey and community interactions, as well as fundamental fisheries isseus such as sampling selectivity and assessments of management manipulations of habitat and fish community structure.
