Dr. Hyslop is a freshwater ecologist and fish biologist specializing in the biology
and ecology of freshwater fauna in Jamaica's river systems. His research has focused
on the freshwater gastropod molluscs, and their tolerance to frequently-used
insecticides and environmental factors such as temperature, salinity and total
suspended solid levels. He also combines molecular and morphological techniques to
provide novel information on the taxonomy of fish in Jamaican rivers. His research
interests include developing a biomonitoring scheme for deducing water quality from
macroinvertebrate communities, as well as examining the role of freshwater fauna as
indicators of organic pollution.
