My project has finally kicked off and I’ve been loving every minute of it! Right now I am monitoring the spawning activity of northern pike as they migrate into our wetlands to spawn!!

Busy day in the field! 40 pike handled. 8 bowfin too. And 5 acoustic transmitters surgically implanted. Not all the same fish of course!!

Another great week at work. I surgically implanted 18 acoustic transmitters into a variety of northern pike to study their spatial ecology!! Also, I made the news, you can check out our online segment here!! fox11online.com/news/local/uw-…

I got to present my research for the first time at the annual AFS conference this year. Big thanks to everyone who supported me and attended my talk!!

Juvenile lake sturgeon from the Menominee River are living their best life, patiently awaiting their release.

Last week, my lake sturgeon began a new chapter in their lives, 140 days in the making. Forty-four acoustically tagged fish have been released, ready to help us uncover their downstream movements around two dams.
