Aquatic Biology at Stone Lab on Lake Erie II

We finished up a dense week of learning limnology and aquatic biology concepts, field sampling, and identifying specimens. We caught some beautiful Lake Erie fish specimens and some terrific aquatic invertebrates. It was a fun week, but a lot of work for us and the students. Well worth it, though!
