Chris Langdon is Professor of Fisheries in the Department of Fsierhies and Wildlife and the Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Statiion, Oregon State University. Dr. Langdon's research interests include aquaculture of shellfish and marine tropical fish larvae, polyculture, microencapsulation techniques, aquaculture nutrition, molluscan genetics, and marine ecology. Recent research has focused on: genetic selection of Pacific oysters, development of microparticulate diets for marine bivalves and fish larvae, development of polyculture systems that include macroalgae and abalone, and the role of burrowing mud shrimp in the trophic dynamics of West Coast estuaries. Dr. Langdon works closely with the West Coast shellfish industry as well as with state and federal agencies to improve benefits from the wise use of marine shellfish resources of the West Coast.
