Jim Long

Jim is a federal Research Fisheries Biologist and is the Leader of the Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. Jim also serves as a Adjunct Professor in the Department of Natural Resources Ecology and Management.

Research Interests:

My research focuses on management-driven questions related to fisheries management, land-use effects on fishes, and effects of invasive species on aquatic communities. I primarily work in stream ecosystems, but also in lakes and reservoirs as well. I am particularly interested in the identification and management of black bass diversity and the utility of fish otoliths to provide information useful for conservation, especially at early-life history stages.
