Dr. Sulikowski and his laboratory ( Sulikowski Shark and Fish Conservation Lab)  of undergraduate and graduate students are dedicated to advancing our  knowledge and conservation of sharks and other fish species. Dr.  Sulikowski has masters’ degrees in marine biology and physiology as well  as a PhD in Zoology. His interdisciplinary research integrates aspects  of fisheries biology such as reproduction, maturity, age and growth, the  physiological responses to stress and how these parameters influence  by-catch mortality, as well as investigating the composition, movements,  and spatial/temporal distribution of commercially valuable species in  both the coastal and pelagic environments. His work has been featured on  such media outlets as the BBC series "Rise of Animals”, "ocean  mysteries series", Discovery Channel’s Shark week, Nat Geo Wild, as well  as many other local, regional and national affiliates.
