Recent Happenings - Feb-Mar Peake (Manitoba) Lab
The Peake Lab (Steve Peake, Cam Barth (PhD student), Peter Allen (post-doc), and Gary Anderson (U of M collaborator and CRI Associate) took a recent research trip to Oshkosh, Wisconsin as a part of a collaborative effort with Ron Bruch, Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources. The trip offered a unique opportunity to collect adult lake sturgeon samples and bear sub-zero temperatures. The samples are being analyzed along with samples from the Winnipeg River, Manitoba.
Cam Barth has been working hard this winter continuing his work on juvenile lake sturgeon abundance, habitat use and ecology in the Winnipeg River, Manitoba. The River is frozen at the moment, but that provides opportunities for analyses and teaching others how to curl.
