This week Kadie chats with Rae Fadlovich, a masters student in the Quantitative Fisheries and Aquatic Ecology Lab at Utah State University. Kadie and Rae chat about how Rae's love of water led her to work with amphibians and fish, how an injury helped her discover her passion for quantitative analyses, her year teaching English in Malaysia, and her research on common carp in Utah Lake. Check it out!

Reid Sutherland, one of the new hosts of The Fisheries Podcast, tells us about her eventful undergraduate program at the University of New Brunswick and beyond and also fills us in on beginning her master's degree at Dalhousie University. Outside of fish stuff we discuss the Canadian Coast Guard, surfing in Nova Scotia, and the Trailer Park Boys.
Main point: Open your mind to alternative thinking!

In the last few decades, epigenetics has revolutionized the fields of ecology and evolution by showing that environment can interact with the genome itself, driving changes in gene expression. Sometimes these epigenetics can even be heritable. And that has enormous importance for fish released from hatcheries as well as the wild fish they interact with. In this episode, Clare Venney and Raphael Bouchard talk to Anders Halverson about their research with Atlantic Salmon.
If you want to get in touch with Clare or Raphael, you can reach them on Researchgate here and here. You can also email them at clare.venney.1@ulaval.ca and raphael.bouchard.3@ulaval.ca
You can find Anders at his website.

This week, Kadie chats with Ash Cameron, a fish biologist for the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. Ash works in the Resident Fish Division’s Aquatic Invasive Species Program with a focus on implementing the Invasive Mussel Project and the Northern Pike Suppression and Monitoring Project in the upper Columbia River. Kadie and Ash talk about her study abroad experience in Nepal, her favorite technician job(s), her current aquatic invasive species (AIS) work for the Colville Tribes, and more!
Main point: Don't spread aquatic invasive species and don't underestimate yourself.
If you'd like to get in touch with Ash, you can email her at Ashley.Cameron.FNW@colvilletribes.com

Marine protected areas can have huge benefits even for long-distance migratory species like tuna, according to a new study in Science. In this episode, two of the coauthors, Dr. Sarah Medoff and Dr. Jennifer Raynor, discuss their research on the fisheries around Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument and their surprising results.
If you want to get in touch with Sarah or Jennifer you can reach them at smedoff@hawaii.edu and jennifer.raynor@wisc.edu.
You can find Anders on twitter @ahalvers, or at his website.

In this episode Nick goes solo and reviews a handful of children's books about fish and fishing. He comes to the conclusion that, at least of the titles his family owns, kid's books about fish and fishing don't portray many successful outings, don't resemble actual fish species, and/or many don't have any underlying science-y teach-ables. Nick's collection is far from complete and he does give a overview of two books that he is hoping to get soon. Enjoy!
Main point: Read to your children!

This week, Kadie chats with Dr. Kellie Carim, a Research Ecologist at the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute in Missoula, MT. Kellie received her B.A. in Biology from Carleton College and her Ph.D. in Fish and Wildlife Biology from the University of Montana. Her research combines genetics tools and information, as well as aquatic ecology to inform stewardship of wilderness areas, and to understand the benefits of wilderness to broader landscapes and ecosystems. Her research interests are broad and include engaging diverse partnerships to address conservation and management of aquatic resources.
Listen in to hear how Kellie's work has evolved from her PhD throughout her current role, her advice on conducting collaborative work with Tribal partners, as well as some really exciting projects on lamprey genetics, using ultrasounds to assess maturity in salmonids, and more!
Main point: How you treat people matters.
Get in touch with Kellie! Her email is kellie.carim@usda.gov
You can access Kellie's paper on her ultrasound work here.

For this Halloween-ish episode, Nick chats with Dusty McDonald about ghost fishing. While we don't get to the bottom of how to catch ghosts or what gear works best, we do discuss what ghost fishing actually is and cover a project Dusty led looking at the ghost fishing ability of trotlines in inland reservoirs. He has also been involved in a handful of other interesting projects in the marine realm and a foray into Fountain Darter research which we dive into in the second half of the interview.
If you want to get in touch with Dusty you can contact him at dusty.mcdonald@tpwd.texas.gov.
Main Point: Human beings are not the only beings that rely on water!

For the last few years, members of the United Nations have been negotiating an agreement to manage and protect the marine biodiversity that lies outside of national jurisdictions--almost 2/3 of the global ocean. Just a couple of months ago they came tantalizingly close to signing a deal on this high seas treaty, only to have it fall apart in the last hour. In this episode, Gabrielle Carmine of the Duke Marine Lab talks to Anders Halverson about what's at stake. She gives an inside view of the negotiations, the issues, and the next steps.
If you want to get in touch with Gabby or keep up with work you can find her on Twitter @GabbyCarmine, on her website, or through email.
You can find Anders on twitter @ahalvers, or at his website.

Clay's research is primarily focused around Blotchy Bass Syndrome in black bass - and he discusses some of the novel methods being used to track the distribution of affected fish, as well as questions he hopes to address to increase our understanding of the virus. Check it out!

Main point: Science communication is one of the best ways that fisheries professionals can help influence policy.
You can get in touch with Drue via her email: dwinters@fisheries.org

In this episode Jasmin Graham talks to Anders Halverson about her research on the ecology, movement, and range of smalltooth sawfish, one of Florida's critically endangered species. We then discuss the reasons Jasmin became a fisheries scientist and her work as the President, CEO, and co-founder of Minorities In Shark Sciences (MISS). Since different perspectives and voices drive the most innovative and impactful scientific research as well as the best natural resource management, how can the fisheries community recruit and retain a diverse pool of talent?
If you want to get in touch with Jasmin or keep up with work you can find her on Twitter @Elasmo_Gal or through her website: https://www.learningwithjasmin.org/
If you want to donate or get involved with MISS you can find them on Twitter: @MISS_Elasmo and at their website: https://www.misselasmo.org/
