Had the amazing opportunity to present at the 2024 AFS National Meeting!
Grateful for the chance to learn about current research projects and meet tons of new fish folks. ๐
A fish filled evening! Taking students in my fishery management class boat electrofishing! Largemouth bass, crappie, carp, catfish, fishing was good. Hertz, voltage, amps, duty cycle, water conductivity - need to know it all to catch fish! Good batch of students to work with!!
UA students & staff examine fish w/ ultrasound machine. Visible eggs show fishesโ development w/out having to sacrifice it, especially important for brood stock or high conservation value fish. This fish a euthanized test subject. Otherwise much more water surrounding it!
Amazing colors on this Orangethroat Darter, a small freshwater fish* that lives in North American streams!
*related to perch & walleye

@dawnbuggy @FisHecke They are breeding tubercles and are found on males during breeding season. Purpose of them is said to be protection and helps with spawning.
Stonerollers arenโt the only ones that have these, but they are my favorite.
Weโre trying to bring a SWMS chapter to TX but itโs a big state, and we need help spreading the word!
Please retweet and share so we can reach as many marine scientists across TX as possible, and if interested please fill out our form below!
