Richard R. Budnik studies freshwater fish populations, particularly in the Great Lakes region, focusing on species like steelhead trout and saugeye. His work examines stocking programs, fish movement and homing behavior, hatchery-origin fish identification (using otolith chemistry and imaging), and the ecological factors influencing fish growth, survival, and recruitment in reservoirs and river tributaries.
