You study bass bait for a living? Cool. Happy Mute Monday!

Ho! least least the first 8 miles are scenic.

Happy MM!

Look at Minnow! He's in the MM Pool. I like seeing more about your research.... I was worried I'd be seeing "red".

Happy MM.

I hate mute Monday. I think it's weird. FYI.
But I do like it when you post pictures, it would just be great if you had words to go along with it. lol

Alright Kris, just for you:

Pictures 1 & 2 are pictures of sampling locations. Specifically, Badger Creek where it flows into Tropic Reservoir in southern Utah, and the Siuslaw River about 20 miles from the Oregon Coast.

Picture 3 is the fish I study.

Picture 4 is a map of all the places I've got samples from (many of which I sampled myself).

Picture 5 is of the DNA sequences for a number of fish.

Pictures 6 & 7 are figures from a recent talk I gave that show some of my results.

ah-ha. i know nothing about all of this. when i saw it, it hought of the salmon crisis right now, even though i knew that was not a salmon picture.

the sampling locations are beautiful!

How do you ever get any research done without stopping to fish all the time?

Native Minnow said...

Steph, the salmon crisis is scary. I hope the stocks recover.

Delirious, it's basically that I don't have enough time to stop. Once I get the fish I need from an area I have to hit the road to get to the next one. That doesn't mean I don't pack my stuff just in case, but so far I've been good about showing discipline.

Hey...I went on a couple of those trips with you... :)

Hey Minnow, I only just discovered you did an MM post. Loved the sampling areas, very pretty but the research analysis was a bit lost on this air head. Btw you wanted me to tell you when I've done a real post. Well I finally did.

While I think the results of this study add to the field, I feel that your sample size is too small for this work to be published in the Journal of Little Fish no one Cares About. We invite you to make amendments to the study per the reviewers comments and re-submit.

Loved the pictures---I even remember when you fell in Badger Creek when I went with you in the snow---I will be happy when you finally finish your project though. I for sure didn't understand your MM so am glad you explained it to Kris.
