Andy Revill
Dr. Andrew Revill is Senior Scientific Officer at CEFAS (The Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science), which is a multidisciplinary scientific research centre.
Dr. Revill specializes in fishing gear technology and the biological and economic impacts of technical measures. Drr Revill is a national advisor on such issues and leads and or participates in many national and international fishing gear-related research areas. He is an active member of ICES including the Fishing Technology and Fish Behaviour Working Group.
A principal area of Dr. Revill's research is the reduction of the adverse benthic impact of fishing gears by technical modification to fishing gears. He also works on discard/bycatch reduction techniques, technological modifications to fishing gears, evolution of abandoned fishing gears, efficacy assessments of technical measures (pre and post introduction), and selectivity enhancement. Prior to joining CEFAS in 2002, he held research posts in two British universities. He holds a B.Sc. in fisheries (Humberside), M.Sc. in aquaculture (Stirling) and a Ph.D. in applied fisheries (Humberside). In his earlier years Andy was a commercial diver and also served for a period in the Royal Navy.
