Andrew Rypel is an American professor of fisheries and ecology at the University of California, Davis. In 2017, he was named the Peter B. Moyle and California Trout Endowed Chair in the Department of Fish, Wildlife & Conservation Biology.[1][2]. His research focuses on the ecology of fishes and conservation science in freshwater ecosystems.
Early life and education[edit]
Andrew Rypel was born in Wisconsin USA. He received a B.A. from Saint Louis University in 2001, a MS from Auburn University in 2004, and a PhD from the University of Alabama in 2008. His PhD dissertation was with Robert H. Findlay, a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biological Sciences at University of Alabama, and focused on effects of dams and flows on river ecosystems.
Career & research[edit]
After completing a PhD, Rypel worked as a postdoctoral fellow with the US Forest Service and Washington University in Saint Louis. Much of his work during this period focused on the ecology and conservation of freshwater mussels with Dr. Wendell Haag. Rypel spent over five years as a research scientist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Here, he worked on science and policy related to 'panfish' (AKA bluegills, yellow perch, crappie and other small consumable species)[3][4][5], declining walleye populations in northern Wisconsin[6][7][8], and a lake classification system for use by local fisheries managers[9][10]. Following a politically-charged downsizing of scientists at Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources[11], in 2017, Rypel became a professor at University of California, Davis. Much of his work is focused on conservation issues and on improving management for native fishes and aquatic ecosystems. In California, he is pursuing conservation methods for rearing Chinook salmon in rice fields of the Central Valley near Sacramento[12][13]. Since 2019, he has been a director at the Center for Watershed Sciences.
