In this episode all four hosts got together to chat about a myriad of topics. We begin be discussing the American Fisheries Society's Virtual Annual Meeting. All of the hosts except for Nick have begun new jobs in 2020 so we catch up with what everyone's new titles and job duties are. In this discussion we learn that Brett has some pretty spotty internet in his new home so he unfortunately had to bow out. Nick, Julie, and Sue then go over their favorite books about fish that aren't text books. We've compiled a list of titles discussed here, starting with everyone's favorites:
Nick: Beautifully Grotesque Fish of the American West, by Mark Spitzer
Sue: The Ecology of Running Waters, by H.B.N. Haynes
Julie: The Hungry Ocean, by Linda Greenlaw
Brett: For the Love of Rivers, by Kurt Fausch
Others discussed:
In Search of Monster Fish, by Mark Spitzer
Season of the Gar, by Mark Spitzer
Any "Fishes of" book
Main Point: Read a book!

In this episode, Nick interviews with Joe Langan, a PhD candidate and a Population and Ecosystem Dynamics Fellow in the National Marine Fisheries Service-Sea Grant Joint Fellowship at the University of Rhode Island. We chat about a whole bunch projects that Joe has been a part of or is currently working on, including understanding the decline of Winter Flounder, forecasting biomass of New England groundfish, Atlantic Cod: climate deniers?, and spatial sex-segregation in Summer Flounder. Joe is a wealth of information on the fisheries in Narragansett Bay and I hope that you all enjoy this episode as much as I did!
