Overview

Martin Castonguay is affiliated with Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Canada. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a significant emphasis on marine and fisheries research.

Their work spans several subfields including global and planetary change, genetics, ecology, nature and landscape conservation, and molecular biology. These areas intersect across topics such as marine and fisheries research, fish ecology and management studies, genetic diversity and population structure, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, isotope analysis in ecology, identification and quantification in food, and reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species.

Martin Castonguay has contributed to a variety of recent scientific papers. Notable publications include:

  • Important questions to progress science and sustainable management of anguillid eels, 2021, Fish and Fisheries
  • Shared ancestral polymorphisms and chromosomal rearrangements as potential drivers of local adaptation in a marine fish, 2020, Molecular Ecology
  • A fine-scale multi-step approach to understand fish recruitment variability, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • Thirteen novel ideas and underutilised resources to support progress towards a range-wide American eel stock assessment, 2022, Fisheries Management and Ecology
  • Multi-decadal trends in contingent mixing of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) in the Northwest Atlantic from otolith stable isotopes, 2021, Scientific Reports

Frequent co-authors of Martin Castonguay include Teunis Jansen, Steven J. Bograd, Tetsuya Takatsu, Michele Casini, and Ignacio A. Catalán, each having collaborated on multiple projects.

Their publications often appear in journals such as Fisheries Oceanography, Scientific Reports, ICES Journal of Marine Science, Open Research Europe, and Fish and Fisheries. Fisheries Oceanography is a particularly frequent venue for their work, accounting for four publications.

Research topics investigated by Martin Castonguay offer insights into marine species population dynamics, genetic factors affecting adaptation, ecological isotopic methods, and fisheries management strategies. The integration of genetics with environmental and ecological data underlines their multidisciplinary approach toward sustainable fisheries and aquatic ecosystem understanding.
