VIMS has one of the largest and most diverse collections of marine and estuarine temperate zone fishes from Nova Scotia to North Carolina. The collection has extensive large holdings of fishes from the Chesapeake Bay, and middle Atlantic Bight.
the Department of Fisheries Science includes faculty with a broad variety of research interests including: finfish, mollusc, crustacean, shark, turtle and marine mammal biology, pathology, parasitology, genetics, and economics. To these research areas, faculty members bring classical skills in ecology, systematics, statistics, population dynamics, physiology, molecular biology, economics, and more.
The Fisheries Genetics Program bridges the gap between molecular biology and fisheries science, using cutting-edge molecular techniques to investigate a wide variety of fisheries-related subjects. Foremost among these are studies of the population genetic structure or stock composition of commercially and/or recreationally important fisheries. The program also uses molecular techniques to determine the evolutionary histories (phylogenies) of many marine organisms, and to identify eggs, larvae, and tissues of closely related species.
