Todd Bond is the Deputy Director of the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre at The University of Western Australia and a deep-sea ecologist with a soft spot for fish.

His presentations have been awarded in Scotland and Australia, and his research outcomes applied in US, UK, Australia, south-east Asia and the Pacific.
