Our mission is to advance our understanding of the ecology of marine fishes, training future marine scientists at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and disseminate information to resource managers and the general public to improve conservation of marine fishes.

The CSULB Shark Lab is dedicated to the study of the physiological and behavioral ecology of sharks, rays, and other economically important gamefishes.

The CSULB Shark Lab was established in 1969 under the direction of Dr. Donald R. Nelson and is now run by Dr. Christopher Lowe.  Checkout our Shark Lab history section.
