Nick is flying solo in this episode! After recently reading Silent Spring Nick asks himself what is his Silent Spring issue, what is one issue he'd want a book written to educate and inform the masses. He settled on the rebranding of "rough" fish and highlights some of the good examples of people and information out there already getting the ball rolling towards change.
Main Point: Read a Book!

This week Julie chats with Tracy Sylvester of Wooden Island Wild, a company she started in order to share the freshest Alaskan salmon that her family and others catch with folks throughout the northeast. We chatted about how she got into fishing and what she thinks is important in sustainable seafood.
Check out her website, and look for their new brick and mortar location on Cape Cod!

Ellie Weise is finishing her master's work at Michigan State University. She has been developing genomic and computational tools to assess populations within an adaptive management framework, specifically focusing on the use of effective population size estimates and pedigree reconstruction to assess sea lamprey spawning populations. We discuss what exactly she is doing and how that information can be used to help manage invasive Sea Lamprey in the Great Lakes. Ellie also works in outreach as a writer and co-host of the science comedy podcast 'An Everyday Dissection.' We talk about her podcast and some of the episode topics and where to find it, as well as some of Ellie's other science outreach experience.
Main Point: Try to do the maximum amount of good!

Nick chats with Dr. Steven Cooke about a small handful of his amazing work but focuses on a few fun topics: technological advances, microfishing, and recreational carp angling. Listen in to this episode to learn more about how technology might be making anglers more efficient, what is microfishing and how might it help researchers, and what's the buzz around carp angling. This was a fun episode filled with many great answers.
Main Point: Have fun with everything you do!

This week Julie chats with Dr. Orian Tzadik and Dr. Sennai Habtes about their roles as fisheries researchers within the US Caribbean. Ori works for a major NGO in Puerto Rico, while Sennai works as a Research Assistant Professor for the University of the Virgin Islands. We discuss a wide variety of fisheries issues within the US Caribbean, including using Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management as a framework for decision-making in the region.
The Main Points: Use Fisheries Independent data and The tools are available to manage fisheries sustainably. We just need the will.

Alex Vaisvil is working towards his PhD at Oklahoma State University. His project involves studying the population dynamics and ecology of Striped Bass in Robert S. Kerr Reservoir. He fills us in on the beginnings of his project and what he is hoping to uncover. Prior to being in Oklahoma, Alex earned his Master's degree at New Mexico State studying natal origin and reproduction of Largemouth Bass in Elephant Butte Reservoir. He earned his Bachelor's degree at Xavier University where he was able to spend a summer in Alaska working with burying beetles and the pheromones they secrete, a pretty stinky job as he explains it. We also highlight Alex's past as a competitive bass fishermen in high school and while at Xavier. Enjoy!
Main point: There are no trash fish, all fish deserve respect!
