On Sept. 24, join the Great Lakes Aquaculture Collaborative and Ohio Sea Grant for a free public webinar on identifying fish health problems, what you can do on the farm to prevent and treat problems, and when to ask for help from a vet or diagnostics lab.
We’re reupping this story from a couple of weeks ago. Farm Science Review, hosted by CFAES, takes place Sept. 21–23, and from water quality to conservation tillage, cover crops to forage production, and especially all the many activities set for the Gwynne Conservation Area, there’s a lot you can learn there in the field of sustainability …
If you fish for steelhead in a Lake Erie tributary, or walleye in Lake Erie, think of CFAES alumnus Kevin Kayle (MS ’86 Natural Resources, BS ’83 Fisheries and Wildlife Management). Here’s why.
Suzanne Gray’s students net benefits from her teaching, and now the CFAES associate professor—her focus is aquatic physiological ecology—has received another award for it.

What fish live in Lake Erie? Find out at “Walleye, Perch, and Bass, Oh My!” (which are three good clues right there), the next Ohio Sea Grant science talk at Lakeside Chautauqua on the Marblehead peninsula. You’ll meet some finny friends and then will hear about what concerns them. It’s from 2–3 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16.
Admission to the talk is free but requires paid admission to Lakeside and a parking pass.

Meet CFAES’s Eugene Braig, who does good things for water, for what lives in water, for Ohioans who take care of water, and for classical guitar to boot. It’s the latest on our CFAES Stories website.
Walleye and the smaller fish they eat “struggle to see in water clouded by algae, and that could potentially jeopardize the species’ future if harmful algal blooms persist.” So said a story by Ohio State science writer Misti Crane, reporting on a study led by CFAES scientist Suzanne Gray.
Algal blooms, like those in Lake Erie, can turn the water green.
Stone Lab’s 2018 summer guest lecture series wraps up at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 2, with “Fish Management in the 21st Century” by Rich Carter, executive administrator of the Fish Management Group in the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Wildlife; and a research brief called “Invasive Species Management and Research: Are We Working at the Same Scales?” by University of Toledo ecology professor Jonathan Bossenbroek.
Admission is free and open to the public. Learn more about the program and how to attend. You also can watch online.
Stone Lab, part of CFAES, is located at Put-in-Bay on Lake Erie. (Photo: Stone Lab Lake Erie sport fishing workshop, 2016, Tory Gabriel, Ohio Sea Grant, via Flickr.)
The Intensifying Pond Production of Fish workshop, its website says, will help pond fish producers “to intensify their operation and grow more pounds of fish per acre of water.” It’s July 14 in Marysville in central Ohio, in part at the Millcreek Perch Farm. CFAES’s Aquaculture Boot Camp is a co-host.
