Overview

Pierre Pepin is affiliated with Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Canada, specializing primarily in Environmental Science. Their research extensively covers subfields including Global and Planetary Change, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, Oceanography, and Aquatic Science.

The scientist's publication record demonstrates a strong focus on marine and fisheries topics. Main research themes include Marine and fisheries research, Fish Ecology and Management Studies, Marine Bivalve and Aquaculture Studies, Isotope Analysis in Ecology, Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies, Ocean Acidification Effects and Responses, and Fish Biology and Ecology Studies.

Research outputs have appeared frequently in several journals. Notable venues include the ICES Journal of Marine Science, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Publishing Network for Geoscientific and Environmental Data (PANGAEA) affiliated with the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Nature Communications, and Fish and Fisheries.

Recent published papers reflect a combination of ecological, oceanographic, and fisheries science perspectives:

  • "Controls on surface water carbonate chemistry along North American ocean margins," 2020, Nature Communications
  • "Life in the fast lane: Revisiting the fast growth-High survival paradigm during the early life stages of fishes," 2023, Fish and Fisheries
  • "Incorporating knowledge of changes in climatic, oceanographic and ecological conditions in Canadian stock assessments," 2022, Fish and Fisheries
  • "Feeding by larval fish: how taxonomy, body length, mouth size, and behaviour contribute to differences among individuals and species from a coastal ecosystem," 2022, ICES Journal of Marine Science
  • "Larval connectivity of northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in the Northwest Atlantic," 2020, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences

Collaboration plays a significant role in Pepin's research, with frequent co-authors including Stéphane Plourde, Mariano Koen-Alonso, Catherine L. Johnson, Dominique Robert, and Jeffrey A. Runge.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring Ecology and Evolution opens doors to many career paths, but some students also consider related fields, such as healthcare and nursing, due to overlapping interests in biology and science. If you’re thinking about branching out, there are flexible education options you can complete online.

For those interested in switching their career to nursing, online MSN programs for non nurses offer a fast-track path to advanced practice without prior nursing experience. Registered nurses looking to level up may want to check out the top rated online nursing schools WGU for respected RN to BSN programs.

Cost and accreditation are key considerations. Those seeking budget-friendly graduate options can explore the cheapest BSN to MSN online programs. Always make sure your degree is recognized; studying at a non profit university ensures quality and value.

Whether you stay in ecology or branch into allied health, online degrees make advanced education more accessible than ever.
