Frank Chapman's main area of interest is in the reproductive biology and larval development of aquatic organisms, particularly of ornamental (aquarium) fish and ancient fish species such as sturgeon. His laboratory activities focus on the applications of reproductive biology and early development to aquaculture, fishery management, and conservation. Three major areas of his research include: (1) broodstock development - the regulation of gametogenesis and sexual maturation, (2) environmental physiology - physiological adaptations in broodstock and early life stages of fish to their culture environment including nutrition, and (3) experimental culture - identification of biological and physiological parameters critical for culture of aquatic organisms. Chapman conducts educational demonstrations and workshops and provides direct assistance to commercial aquaculture farmers to develop energy-efficient systems for fish production

Recent research areas include habitat suitability studies; spatial modeling of species richness or similar measures of animal abundance; spatially-explicit, demographic modeling of a sessile, benthic species including but natural variability as well as uncertainty characterization; testing spatial positioning of dominant animals with herds; effect of scale of aggregation on conclusions about spatial autocorrelation in species richness in cave systems; and effect of sampling on the bias in estimation of various quantities describing animal movement in confined spaces.
