Bronwyn M. Gillanders is an Australian marine ecology biologist and University Professor in the Department of Marine Biology at the University of Adelaide. Her work focus on aquatic biology especially on the fish and fishery ecology in temperate coasts. She uses otolith chemistry to track movements of aquatic animals.

Research
Bronwyn Gillanders attended the University of Canterbury (1982-1984), earned a master's of science degree in Marine Sciences from the University of Otago in 1988, and received her Ph.D. in 1995 in the Biological Sciences from University of Sydney. Her research interest include the study of colony of fishes on rocky reefs and in estuaries, the population dynamics and fisheries, the study of connectivity between estuarine and reef habitats and among estuaries, population replenishment and movements of fish using trace elements in ear bones, biodiversity of fish and invertebrates at different spiral scales, native fish stocking or rivers, population structure in Great Australian Cuttlefish, discriminating farmed and wild kingfish in Spencer Gulf, factors influencing otolith chemistry of fish and chemical marking of otoliths.
