      Master's student at UOIT in applied biosciences. My thesis title was, "Bioelectrical impedance analysis as a measure of energy content and fish health in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)." This project involved sampling rainbow trout with a bioimpedance analyzer and then analyzing their tissue via bomb calorimetry. Mathematical models were then developed to compare the bioimpedance values to the observed energy values to construct predictive equations which could non-lethally assess… Show more Master's student at UOIT in applied biosciences.
