David Garcia Prieto is a doctoral fellow at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Horn Point Laboratory located in Cambridge, MD. David earned his B.S. in Oceanography at the University of Washington in Seattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zooplankton are food both for fish and for bacteria. Zooplankton and forage fish migrate to depth during the day to avoid visual predators. David uses a combination of metagenomic and COI amplicon approaches to quantitatively study the effects of low or zero oxygen on zooplankton and forage fish community composition at their vertical migration depths in both estuaries and open ocean Oxygen Deficient Zones. This work will elucidate exactly who migrates to which depth and oxygen concentration. David, who has a strong background in microbiology, then plans to statistically link zooplankton and bacteria at these depths. His dissertation is titled, \u201cDistribution of zooplankton and forage fish across gradients in oxygen in estuaries and open ocean Oxygen Deficient Zones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
