Eric Chapman
Senior Fisheries Biologist, Fish and Aquatic Sciences
Eric has over two decades of experience as a research fisheries biologist.
Eric has over two decades of experience as a research fisheries biologist. He began his career working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Maine Department of Marine Resources, studying Atlantic salmon and American eels. He also worked with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) in the Sacramento/San Joaquin watersheds for over 13 years before joining our team. While serving as a lab manager at UC Davis, Eric managed many large research projects focusing on the ecology of Endangered Species Act-listed species, including spring-run Chinook salmon and green sturgeon. He has studied the biology, movement behavior, and survival of fish using biotelemetry and other fisheries techniques.
