Current Research Interests:
My research focuses on the effects of catch-and-release angling on American paddlefish in the Missouri River above Fort Peck Reservoir. I am analyzing paddlefish response to angling using blood sampling and radio telemetry. I aim to balance this popular sport fishery with the need for native species conservation.
