Ryan Dail - Final Reflection

As the semester has come to an end I have been able to confidently answer my scientific question. Coastal fisheries use the information otoliths provide to help set regulations for every fishermen in Florida. Being that this is a relatively new method for gathering information, there is a great amount of information to be learned on new methods of testing otoliths. This lab project has put me in contact with great sources and very nice people. I plan on getting in contact with a fishery biologist I previously met with to keep learning about otoliths and the fish they belong to. I had a great time taking this lab class and learned more than I could have asked for. I really appreciate how much field work Dr. Woodall allowed us to experience. I hope this blog will remain open for updates on everyone's great projects.
