Overview

Wojciech Walkusz is a researcher affiliated with Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Canada. Their work primarily focuses on environmental science, with particular attention to marine and fisheries research. The main areas of study include global and planetary change, ecology, oceanography, genetics, and nature and landscape conservation. Within these fields, their research topics cover marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, isotope analysis in ecology, fish ecology and management studies, ocean acidification effects and responses, marine biology and ecology research, and genetic and clinical aspects of sex determination and chromosomal abnormalities.

Walkusz has contributed to several scientific publications in notable journals. Their recent papers include:

  • "Climate-induced changes in the suitable habitat of cold-water corals and commercially important deep-sea fishes in the North Atlantic," 2020, published in Global Change Biology
  • "The circumpolar impacts of climate change and anthropogenic stressors on Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) and its ecosystem," 2023, published in Elementa Science of the Anthropocene
  • "Biological Impact of Ocean Acidification in the Canadian Arctic: Widespread Severe Pteropod Shell Dissolution in Amundsen Gulf," 2021, published in Frontiers in Marine Science
  • "Chromosome-level assembly reveals a putative Y-autosomal fusion in the sex determination system of the Greenland Halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides)," 2021, published in G3 Genes Genomes Genetics
  • "Larval connectivity of northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in the Northwest Atlantic," 2020, published in Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences

Walkusz frequently publishes in venues such as:

  • Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Global Change Biology
  • Elementa Science of the Anthropocene
