Dr. Jon Bent Kristoffersen is a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute of Marine Biology and Genetics, Hellenic Centre for Marine Research. He completed his doctoral training at the systems ecology group at the University of Bergen, Norway, in 1999. His thesis focused on the biology and ecology of mesopelagic fish. He worked extensively with fish ageing from otoliths. His post-doctoral experience includes further work on fish age and growth, the usefulness of fluctuating asymmetry as a fitness indicator, a variety of methods for fish stock identification, such as morphometry and meristics, otolith microchemistry, variation in allozyme frequencies, nuclear and mitochondrial DNA variation, and phylogeography and the reconstruction of a species’ history from its genetic variation. He also has an interest in the theoretical exploration of topics such as mutation, selection, and coalescent theory.
