Had a blast talking about #sturgeon with Dr. Drew Holloway's ichthyology class @ballstate.bsky.social this afternoon! I'm grateful my AFS involvement @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social connected me with Drew at a past Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference. His students asked great Q's about larval drift! 🐟

We are getting some beautiful autumn weather here in NE. This season always evokes a sense of things coming to pass and a year coming to an end. Thus, the #SundayFishSketch #Fishytheme for this weekend is "lifecycles." Sketch a fish lifecycle, can be as simple or complex as you want! #sciart 🦑
