About me
Auston Chhor, MSc
Salmon Habitat Biologist
Auston received a BSc in Biology from Queen’s University and went on to complete a Masters of Science at Carleton University under Dr. Steven Cooke, where he studied how catch-and-release impacts the behaviour of fish. Over the course of his career he has had the privilege to study bass, salmon, walleye, and sturgeon, but salmonids hold a special place in his heart. He grew up in a suburb of Toronto where his passion for learning about the natural world was formed in front of the TV by Planet Earth and Jacques Cousteau’s Ocean Tales.
When he has a spare moment you can find him biking, skiing, or rock climbing, depending on the weather. He is also a freelance writer for The Tyee, Canada’s National Observer, and Science World.
