Fall fish sampling at Lake Erie

We will make our last trip up to Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge near Lake Erie on Thursday to collect more fish data. We will identify, weigh, and measure fish from two wetland sites to complete our sampling regime for Fall 2015! We are hoping to find lots of diversity and pretty fish, like this Pumpkinseed Sunfish (Lepomis gibbous). After all, ’tis the season for pumpkin everything!
