Peake Lab
Everyone had a successful and safe field season in Pinawa, Manitoba! The Winnipeg River was quite high for most of the summer, but we managed to get most of the work done anyway. Sweet success!!
Cam Barth is on the road to completing his PhD degree and spent this past summer writing up his dissertation.
Cheryl Klassen has recently wrapped up a third summer of data collection for her PhD degree which included both laboratory studies focusing on the causes of growth rate variability among larval lake sturgeon, as well as, field studies to determine the success of past lake sturgeon stocking events.
Craig McDougall finished his first field season of an MSc degree monitoring the movements of 99 lake sturgeon he implanted with acoustic transmitters. He also collected tissue samples from approximately 180 adult lake sturgeon for a genetics study. It was a busy, but successful, season for Craig!
