About Neil Ashton

Neil coordinates among our research programs to make sure the various culture facilities used for research (hatchery building, raceways, various sizes of tanks, etc.) are maintained, scheduled and available throughout the year. He reviews the condition and availability of culture facilities with the station research program leads and management to analyze current and future culture facilities needs based on research program plans and budget realities. He collaborates with staff on the development, preparation and submittal of scientific, technical, and administrative documents.
