  • Fish ecology. Adaptations of invasive species and their effects on aquatic communities. Management of fishes and aquatic systems. Life history adaptations of fishes to their abiotic and biotic environment, as well as exotic species introductions in Canada and Europe, and factors that affect their invasion success. Habitat selection of native and invasive stream fishes. Involved locally, in partnership with the Peterborough Field Naturalists and the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, on movement and habitat selection of urban brook trout in Harper Creek.

Don Mackay portraitDon Mackay

Professor Emeritus

Topics have included the study of oil spills, especially in the Arctic, assessments of contamination in the Great Lakes, bioaccumulation in a variety of organisms from Invertebrates to fish, whales and humans, and the measurement and prediction of physicochemical properties of toxic substances. He introduced the concept of fugacity as a tool for environmental modelling and he founded, with Dr Eva Webster, the Canadian Environmental Modelling Centre (CEMC) at Trent University in 1995. He continues a modest research effort, primarily with Professor J. Mark Parnis of the Chemistry Department, the current Director of the CEMC and his students on environmental fate and transport modelling in a variety of ecosystems and novel methods of chemical property prediction.
