Jeffrey Runge holds a Ph.D. in Oceanography, with a research specialty in
zooplankton ecology, from the University of Washington. He was a Killam Postdoctoral
Fellow in the Department of Oceanography at Dalhousie University, then a research
scientist at the Université Laval in Quebec, where he studied coupling between ice algal
blooms and pelagic ecosystem productivity in Hudson Bay. For fifteen years he worked for
the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans at the Institut Maurice Lamontagne in
Mont-Joli, Quebec, where he headed a section studying secondary production and fisheries
recruitment processes in coastal waters of eastern Canada. He was research professor in
