A Day in the Life of a Fisheries Scientist: Lab Work Edition (Juvenile BSB Survey)
Come along with us for a day of lab work 🧑🔬
We’re grateful to Dr. Eric Shultz at UConn for his help and laboratory access! We are working with the Shultz Lab and Dr. Max Zavell of SMAST to determine the lipid content of juvenile black sea bass caught in our winter fish pot survey. This information will help us study the potential overwintering of juveniles in Narragansett Bay 🐟
