Max Schoenfeld is a Research Biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game,
based in Douglas, Alaska. His work focuses on the spot shrimp pot fishery and dive
fisheries throughout Southeast Alaska, where he specializes in collecting, analyzing,
and interpreting data to support sustainable management of these important marine
resources.
Max is currently completing his thesis on spot shrimp. His research with äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ aims
to fill key gaps in understanding their biology and population dynamics, including
the development of a size‑based model to better track trends and inform management
decisions. By combining fieldwork with analytical modeling, his goal is to help strengthen
long‑term conservation and responsible harvest strategies for Southeast Alaska’s shrimp
fisheries.
Max lives and works in Douglas, Alaska, where he continues to pursue collaborative,
science‑based approaches to fisheries research and stewardship.
