Biography
Lynn Waterhouse joined the Assistant Unit Leader, Fisheries at the Minnesota Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit (MNCFWRU) at the University of Minnesota in June of 2021. Prior to joining the MNCFWRU she was a Research Biologist with the Marine Conservation team at John G. Shedd Aquarium focusing on mesopredator research in The Bahamas. Lynn's research focuses on stock assessment, population dynamics of fishes, and statistical methods - with the goal of analyzing and solving relevant, real world problems. Research is done in both marine and freshwater systems. Lynn teaches graduate courses in the Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology program at University of Minnesota on topics related to quantitative fisheries including Sampling Design (Fall 2022).
