Â鶹Éçmadou

Jasmin is an aquatic ecologist dedicated to applying fundamental biological understanding to solve real-world sustainability challenges. Her research has spanned a diverse range of topics, employing chemical and engineered tools for management of finfish and octopus fisheries, food traceability, and restoration of riverine fish passage.Ìý

At Â鶹Éçmadou, Jasmin integrates fish biology with hydraulic engineering to tackle the critical issue of barriers to freshwater fish migration. She develops and implements novel pipe fishways, such as the Tube Fishway, as adaptable and cost-effective solutions for reconnecting fish passage. Jasmin’s research involves at Â鶹Éçmadou involves both simulated and live fish experiments using full-scale lab models, alongside field deployments across Australian riverine ecosystems.
