Ronald Campbell has been the Tweed Foundation’s biologist since 1990. Following an honours degree from Aberdeen University he completed his doctorate at the University of Otago in New Zealand. This work looked at the ways that water removal from a small river for a city water supply affected the sport fish population of Brown Trout in it. He has been employed in much biological work in Scotland and abroad including fish scale reading and fauna analysis; surveying aquatic invertebrates in the Hebrides; nesting of the Slavonian Grebe; investigating the effects of reduced currents on insect food for fishes in Co. Cork; fish and chemical analysis in relation to fish populations; characterisation of Hebridian lochs; examination of the relationship between catches and the environment on the R. Tay. Since joining the Foundation he has been responsible for developing fisheries management policy on Tweed.
