Dr. Robert (Bobby) Davis
Assistant Professor of Biology
I developed a passion for the outdoors as a young person, which led me to pursue a career in natural resources. My education and research experiences have been focused on improving the sustainability and management of aquatic resources, whether that be local fisheries or global aquaculture commodities. Some areas that my work has focused on include shrimp and salmon aquaculture sustainability, anthropogenic impacts on aquatic environments, and sustainable fisheries management. My teaching interests include applied statistics, ecology, and conservation biology. In my free time, I enjoy the beautiful settings of North Georgia by fly fishing for endemic species such as Bartram’s Bass, found only in the Savannah River watershed.
