About me

I am a fisheries biologist and writer. Between 1994 and 2004, I founded and directed the international conservation organization World Fisheries Trust. My fields of scientific expertise include fisheries, marine biology, conservation biology, genetics and aquaculture.

Over my 25-year career I have published many scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals, written more than forty articles and columns for the general public, and written and published two books for a general audience. My latest book is The End of the River (ECW Press, 2008).

My Japanese translation/editing takes two forms:

1. Translation: My wife is Tokyo-born and raised. We work together as a team. She does the basic translation, while I make sure technical terms and meaning are correct and refine the style.

2. Editing and proofing: For Japanese researchers who wish to publish in English and have already produced a first draft in English, I refine the English to meet journal publication standards. For example, I have helped ensure publication of many scientific papers written by Dr. Minoru Kihara and colleagues (Dept of Marine Biology, Tokai University, Sapporo). Sample titles include:

a. Influence of insemination water pH on hatching rate and growth of Onchorhynchus keta fry

b. Diet position, not lighting or aeration, affect feeding intensity of tank-reared marine mollusc Aplysia kurodai fed an artificial seaweed diet

c. Effect of Sand Particles on the Food Intake of Tank-reared Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Keywords: japanese, fisheries, aquatic science, aquaculture, biology

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu? Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
