Rate My Professor Matthew Taylor

Taylor's research focuses on applied marine ecology, including fish habitat, recruitment, and population processes; fisheries productivity and sustainability in estuarine and recreational contexts; stock enhancement and sea-ranching; ecotoxicology of contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS); movement ecology via acoustic telemetry and otolith chemistry; and crustacean biology encompassing species like giant mud crab, blue swimmer crab, and eastern king prawn. His extensive publication record exceeds 100 papers, with key works including 'Restoring blue carbon ecosystems unlocks fisheries’ potential' (2026), 'Unravelling the magnitude and drivers of PFAS trophic magnification' (2025), 'Consequences of Juvenile Fish Movement and Seascape Connectivity' (2024, Journal of Applied Ecology), 'Seascape connectivity of temperate fishes' (2022, Journal of Applied Ecology), 'Global trends in aquatic animal tracking with acoustic telemetry' (2022, Trends in Ecology & Evolution), and 'Adaptive Spatial Management to Deal with Post-flood Inshore Bycatch' (2022, North American Journal of Fisheries Management). These contributions advance fisheries management, spatial planning, bycatch reduction, and ecosystem services understanding.
