This week Nick chats with Julie Claussen about a myriad of topics. We start with how Julie got started in natural resources before moving in to her career with the Illinois Natural History Survey. The conversation then turns towards her role with the Fisheries Conservation Foundation, some of the foundations projects, and the pros and cons of working internationally. We also touch on Julie's passion for science communication, the American Fisheries Society, and DEI efforts in fisheries science.
Main Point: Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!
One of the communication efforts Julie is involved with is the Climate Ambassadors and Climate Fellow Programs through AFS. The Ambassadors program is currently accepting applications for the next class starting in 2023. If you are interested you can find more information at https://climate.fisheries.org/meet-our-climate-ambassadors/.

Virginia Tech doctoral student Jack Stack really likes to study fossil fish. When he's not doing that, he likes to talk about them. In this episode, Anders Halverson talks to Jack about the evolutionary history of fishes from the Cambrian to the Anthropocene. Where did the marvelous diversity of ray-finned fishes come from? What happened to the jawless and lobe-finned lineages? What does this all mean for fisheries conservation today?

In this episode Nick does a solo monologue covering a few topics about the podcast. The first being that he was caught off-guard by a fifth Sunday of the month and was left scrambling trying to fill an episode last minute, hence the solo episode. To combat this, we are seeking your help by asking you to contribute advice, stories, short blurbs, jokes to air on later episodes of the podcast. You can submit that material by recording on your phone or laptop then uploading your stories here: https://forms.gle/b8raHH7H7rktMpyX6 and your advice here: https://forms.gle/BWA26mzk2tbYxQWo6 or you can simply call in to 785-380-9815 and leave a voice mail.
Nick also spills the beans that The Fisheries Podcast will be receiving AFS' Excellence in Public Outreach Award at the upcoming meeting in Spokane. He expresses a multitude of thanks to the other co-hosts, past guests, the listeners, supporters, and the nominating team. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Another meeting related topic: BINGO! We will be creating a bingo game to be played during the upcoming AFS' meeting. The squares will be based on occurances/activites at the meeting or sights around Spokane. The first person to get all their squares filled in will have their 2023 AFS membership dues paid for by the podcast. Other prizes are still being worked out but may be related to four-corners, outline, or regular old bingo. Feel free to send us suggestions for space ideas.

In this episode, Anders Halverson talks to Daniele Bianchi about the impacts that marine fish have on the global carbon cycle. In short, the ocean is a very important sink for carbon dioxide. Marine fish are important drivers of a biological pump that can sequester that carbon for long periods of time and at great depth. And that means removing large quantities of fish through industrial fishing could have important consequences for climate change. It isn't easy measuring it or modelling it, though.
The paper we discuss in this show can be found here:
D. Bianchi, D. A. Carozza, E. D. Galbraith, J. Guiet, T. DeVries, Estimating global biomass and biogeochemical cycling of marine fish with and without fishing. Science Advances 7, eabd7554 (2021)

Emily Dean is a doctoral candidate at Michigan State University researching the influence of anthropogenic factors on the distribution and habitat of riverine fish species. She conducts applied research to provide information that supports conservation and management of freshwater fisheries. She is studying the effects of stream fragmentation on migratory fishes across the conterminous US. This project builds on information from the North American Freshwater Migratory Fish Database (NAFMFD) she developed which contains life history information for 1250 North American freshwater species.
If you want to get in touch with Emily, you can find her on Twitter (@PhishnDean) and Instagram (@sockeyesocket).

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Silver discusses the history of fisheries science as it was developed in the context of colonialism and industrialized fishing. The discussion centers on a paper she and her colleagues recently published in The American Naturalist titled "Fish, People, and Systems of Power: Understanding and Disrupting Feedback between Colonialism and Fisheries Science" (Silver et al. 2022). In particular she discusses the ways in which colonialism impacted indigenous peoples in what is now British Columbia through the Pacific herring fishery.
