About

Dr. Jennifer Doyle is a leading fisheries scientist whose research focuses on advancing stock assessment methodologies for commercially vital crustacean species, particularly the Norway lobster (*Nephrops norvegicus*). Her major contributions lie at the intersection of behavioral ecology and fisheries management, where she has critically evaluated and improved the accuracy of Underwater Television (UWTV) survey techniques. In her highly cited 2022 paper (23 citations), Dr. Doyle pioneered the integration of new monitoring technologies to enhance fishery-independent stock assessments, addressing the fundamental challenge that *Nephrops* are burrowing organisms invisible to traditional trawl and UWTV surveys. Her equally impactful 2021 work (22 citations) directly interrogated the core assumption of UWTV surveys—that each burrow represents a single animal—by analyzing burrow emergence rhythms and their associated surveying biases. By quantifying how behavioral patterns can skew population estimates, Dr. Doyle has provided fisheries managers with more robust tools for sustainable stock exploitation. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in applied marine biology, crustacean behavior, or the technological evolution of fisheries science.
