Lindon was a research fellow at Kagoshima University, Japan after completing his PhD studies, and now employed as Senior Lecturer in Fisheries Studies at Solomon Islands National University.
His area of specialty is on the population biology of economically important fish species, with an end goal of attainment of sound fisheries management. He had worked and published on female and male reproductive biology and age and growth of a commercially important fish species in the northwestern Pacific. His current research are on indigenous fishing knowledge, fisheries biology of White-edge lyretail grouper, and water quality assessment on coral reef and mangrove ecosystems. Lindon is interested on understanding of different statistical models for making fisheries management decisions, and epigenetic analyses for age and maturity estimation of commercially important fish species.
