Mark A. Pegg
Hi, I’m Mark Pegg, fisheries ecologist and associate professor in the School of Natural Resources. I’m associated with the undergraduate major in fisheries and wildlife and the graduate specializations in aquatic ecology and wildlife ecology.
Most of my career has been dedicated to working on fisheries and aquatic ecosystem issues. These interests have generally led me to conduct research centered on the ecology of flowing systems, fisheries management, the impacts of aquatic nuisance species and restoration ecology.
Specifically, I am interested in aquatic community responses in time and space to environmental conditions such as hydrology, habitat availability and water quality; aspects of fish-population dynamics like survival, age and growth and angler exploitation; how aquatic nuisance species influence ecosystems; and most recently, assessing river-restoration techniques.
I’ve been at UNL since August 2005. I received my bachelor’s in fish and wildlife biology in 1992 from Iowa State University, my master’s in biology in 1994 from Tennessee Technological University, and my doctorate in fisheries biology in 2000 from Iowa State University.
