Dr. Julie Lively is the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program’s Fisheries Extension Specialist and a professor with Louisiana State University AgCenter.  Her work centers around commercial fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico. Her applied research focuses on blue crab and shrimp including soft shell crab production, bait and disease work with blue crabs, derelict crab traps and ghost fishing, and post-harvest processes in the shrimp industry.  In addition to extension and outreach on these topics, she has also worked on characterizing the freshwater commercial fishery and the Louisiana Fisheries Forward Program to improve economic success in commercial fisheries.  She is the editor of the monthly fisheries newsletter, Lagniappe. Previously she worked with the horseshoe crab, whelk, and eel fisheries in the Mid Atlantic.
