Overview

Jon Grant is affiliated with Dalhousie University in Canada and focuses their research primarily within Environmental Science. Their work spans several interrelated subfields, including Global and Planetary Change, Ecology, Oceanography, Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law, and Nature and Landscape Conservation.

Their research addresses a variety of topics in marine and aquatic sciences. These main topics include Marine Bivalve and Aquaculture Studies, Fish Ecology and Management Studies, Marine and Fisheries Research, Coastal and Marine Management, Physiological and Biochemical Adaptations, Aquaculture Nutrition and Growth, and Parasite Biology and Host Interactions.

Grant has published extensively in several prominent scientific journals. Frequent venues for their work are Reviews in Aquaculture, Fisheries Oceanography, Marine Policy, Journal of Environmental Management, and Frontiers in Aquaculture.

Examples of their recent publications include:

  • Global stakeholder vision for ecosystem-based marine aquaculture expansion from coastal to offshore areas (2020, Reviews in Aquaculture)
  • Visualizing the social in aquaculture: How social dimension components illustrate the effects of aquaculture across geographic scales (2020, Marine Policy)
  • A spatio-temporal LSTM model to forecast across multiple temporal and spatial scales (2022, Ecological Informatics)
  • Oceanographic processes control dissolved oxygen variability at a commercial Atlantic salmon farm: Application of a real-time sensor network (2020, Aquaculture)
  • Data Driven Insight Into Fish Behaviour and Their Use for Precision Aquaculture (2021, Frontiers in Animal Science)

Grant collaborates frequently with several other researchers in the field. Notable frequent co-authors include Ramón Filgueira, Meredith Burke, Fearghal O'Donncha, Megan E. Rector, and Jennie Korus.
