Biography

Steve Miranda - Unit Leader, Mississippi Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit

Steve is Unit Leader and Professor at Mississippi State. He is a fish ecologist with 40 years of experience and has been with the Coop Units since 1986. Prior to 1986 he was a research intern with Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife and research biologist with Texas Parks and Wildlife. His long-standing research interests include lentic aquatic ecosystems, natural resource conservation and management, fish population and community dynamics, and aquatic habitat management. He teaches Fisheries Science and Management of Impounded River Basins and has directed over 60 MS and PhD students. Steve's most current research has been published in journals such as Aquatic Sciences, Climatic Research, Fish and Fisheries, Freshwater Biology, Journal of Environmental Management, Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, and Water Resources Research. In 2017 he published a book entitled Reservoir Fish Habitat Management. He has held several editorial appointments, including Co-editor of the North American Journal of Fisheries Management and currently Chief Editor of Frontiers in Freshwater Sciences.
