Survival secrets of an ancient fish

July Café on Aquaculture, July 24

Come join your fellow science enthusiasts for a enlightening talk on the limits of life for sturgeon by Dr. Janet Genz, Assistant Professor of Biology at the University of West Georgia. If you want to get a head-start, check out the Georgia Department of Natural Resources overview of sturgeon reintroduction to the Coosa River.

For the past 6 years, Dr. Genz has been conducting research on the lake sturgeon and the parameters for survival. This fish has been around for millennia, but is facing peril due to dam construction resulting in habitat loss. Sturgeon have a life span of over 100 years and geographical range throughout North America. Click here to learn more about what Dr. Genz is currently working on.
