Personal profile

Biography

Dr Tom Doyle is a Senior Lecturer in Zoology in the School of Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences at UCC. Tom is a marine biologist with expertise in gelatinous zooplankton ecology and animal biotelemetry. His research interests fall under two main areas: Gelatinous zooplankton ecology: socio-economic impacts of jellyfish (e.g. aquaculture and fisheries interactions), jellyfish associated pathophysiology (inc. First Aid for treatment of jellyfish stings) and diet and trophic interactions of jellyfish. Animal biotelemetry: deployment of satellite tags, data loggers and acoustic tracking devices on various species (elasmobranchs, sea bass, sunfish and leatherback turtles) to determine animal movements, migration patterns and behaviour.
