About

Dr. Cory Suski is a professor in the Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois. His research group offers a range of opportunities for students interested in basic animal physiology and applied fisheries conservation. Dr. Suski's work focuses on understanding fish behavior, physiology, and conservation strategies through a combination of laboratory and field experiments. His lab investigates various species, including Paddlefish, largemouth bass, walleye, and other freshwater fishes, with projects addressing topics such as thermal tolerance, fish movement, spawning site fidelity, and the effects of angling pressure. The research aims to inform conservation and management practices to better protect fish populations and their habitats under changing environmental conditions. Dr. Suski actively mentors undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers, fostering a collaborative environment that integrates physiology, ecology, and conservation science to address pressing questions in fisheries biology.

• Technological innovations in the recreational fishing sector: implications for fisheries management and policy

  Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries · 2021 · 132 citations

  Technology that is developed for or adopted by the recreational fisheries sector (e.g., anglers and the recreational fishing industry) has led to rapid and dramatic changes in how recreational anglers interact with fisheries resources. From improvements in finding and catching fish to emulating their natural prey and accessing previously inaccessible waters, to anglers sharing their exploits with others, technology is completely changing all aspects of recreational fishing. These innovations wou…

• Are we any closer to understanding why fish can die after severe exercise?

  Fish and Fisheries · 2022 · 45 citations

  Abstract Post‐exercise mortality (PEM) may occur when fish exercise to exhaustion and are pushed so far beyond their physiological limits that they can no longer sustain life. Although fish exercise to overcome a variety of natural challenges, the phenomenon of PEM is most often observed as the result of interactions between fish and humans. The seminal work of Black (Can J Fish Aquat Sci, 15:573, 1958) and Wood et al. (J Fish Biol, 22:189, 1983) provided a foundation for exploring the potential…

• Silver carp experience metabolic and behavioral changes when exposed to water from the Chicago Area Waterway

  Scientific Reports · 2024-10-25 · 5 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  One of the hallmarks of invasive species is their propensity to spread. Removing an invasive species after establishment is virtually impossible, and so considerable effort is invested in preventing the range expansion of invaders. Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) were discovered in the Mississippi River in 1981 and have spread throughout the basin. Despite their propensity to expand, the 'leading edge' in the Illinois River has stalled south of Chicago and has remained stable for a dec…

• Limiting downstream dispersal of invasive carp egg surrogates using a laboratory-scale oblique bubble screen

  Journal of Ecohydraulics · 2024-04-20 · 5 citations

  articleOpen access

  We conceptualize and test a non-intrusive barrier, comprised of an oblique bubble screen (OBS) oriented at an angle to the mean flow, to prevent the downstream dispersal of invasive carp egg surrogates. Three surrogates of different densities and diameters were tested. Secondary flows created by the OBS were tuned to redirect surrogate eggs to facilitate their capture. Surface particle image velocimetry and acoustic Doppler velocimetry were used to characterize secondary flows. We assessed the i…
