William H. Krueger
 
Education:

  • Ph.D. (Biology) 1967, Boston University
  • A.M. (Biology) 1960, Boston University
  • A.B. (Biology) 1959, Boston University
 
Research Interests:

Dr. Krueger is interested in the biology of marine and freshwater fishes, especially that of the American eel and sticklebacks. His investigations of the American eel stress abundance, size variation, development, and inland migration of elvers and sex determination and geographic distribution of the sexes in yellow (feeding phase) and silver (migratory) eels. His work on sticklebacks focuses on their evolution, ontogeny, variation of lateral plate morphology, and migratory behavior.
