Professor Zarnoch’s research focuses on bivalve (clams, oysters, scallops, etc.) aquaculture and restoration. He studies the physiological ecology of bivalves to address issues hindering the success of bivalve restoration efforts and bottlenecks in the aquaculture industry. Examples of Professor Zarnoch’s include examining the over-winter mortality of juvenile hard clams and collaborating with the Brooklyn College’s Aquatic Research and Environmental Assessment Center (AREAC) to examine the early growth of horseshoe crabs and urban aquaculture.
Professor Zarnoch welcomes undergraduate students to participate in his research, there are opportunities to do field and laboratory work at Baruch College. For more information on Professor Zarnoch’s lab work, visit his research page.
