Imants (Monty) George Priede is a British-Latvian zoologist, author and academic. He is Professor Emeritus in the University of Aberdeen, Scotland known for his work on fish and life in the deep sea.[1]
Deep-Sea Fishes: Biology, Diversity, Ecology and Fisheries
Priede has published over 150 research papers concerned with fish, fisheries and the marine environment.[2] He is author of the textbook Deep-Sea Fishes: Biology, Diversity, Ecology and Fisheries.[3] He is Editor-In-Chief of the journal Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers.[4]
Two species of deep-sea animals have been named in honour of Priede, a worm Prodistomum priedei and a fish Pachycara priedei.[5]
Priede studied Marine Zoology at the Bangor University. Later, he joined University of Stirling where he received his Ph.D. in 1973. His Ph.D. thesis at the University of Stirling was entitled "The physiology of circulation during swimming activity in rainbow trout" for which he received the Huxley Prize of the Zoological Society of London. In 1996, he was awarded the degree of D.Sc. by the University of Aberdeen.[1]
Career
Priede joined University of Aberdeen as a lecturer in 1977. He continued working at University of Aberdeen throughout his career, initially as a Research Fellow, then lecturer and later a Reader in Zoology. He became Professor of Zoology at University of Aberdeen in 1998.[1]
In 2001, Priede founded Oceanlab to undertake world-wide research in the marine environment, conducting surveys in the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. He was the director of Oceanlab in the Institute of Biological & Environmental Sciences until 2013, when he retired to become Professor Emeritus.[7][8]
In Scotland, Priede was a member of the Council of the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) and has served on two inquiries by the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Inquiry into the future of the Scottish Fishing Industry (2004)[9] and The Scientific issues Surrounding the control of Infectious Salmon Anaemia (ISA) in Scotland (2002).[10]
Research and work
Priede’s early research, from 1973 to 1990, investigated activity of fish in their natural environment through tracking and biotelemetry, and showed how fish minimise their energy expenditure. He pioneered the use of the satellite-based Argos system for tracking of large marine animals when in 1982 he successfully attached a transmitter by hand harpoon to a basking shark and tracked its movements off the west coast of Scotland.[11]
Priede has worked on the problems of migration of salmon and sea trout in the rivers and estuaries of the UK. From 1988 to 1998, he investigated problems of the mackerel and horse mackerel fishery around the British Isles, serving on working groups of ICES (International Council for Exploration of the Sea) and coordinating two EU funded projects on the estimation of the size of these important stocks.[15]
Subsequently his interest shifted to exploring the deep-sea using unmanned autonomous landers developed by his team at Oceanlab in the University of Aberdeen. They showed that food-falls reaching the deep-sea floor are rapidly intercepted and consumed by abyssal fishes. Using unique ingestible transmitters Priede tracked the swimming speeds of grenadier fishes and found that they are continuously moving across the abyssal plains dispersing over large distances.[16] In 2006 Priede and colleagues published the results of global surveys showing that sharks are essentially absent from depths greater than 3000 meters.[17][18]
1974 - Zoological Society of London Thomas Henry Huxley Prize for original contributions to Zoology[1]
2011 - Fisheries Society of the British Isles, Beverton Medal for distinguished contributions to fish biology and fisheries science[21]
