1300 - (1PM) Our Speaker -Dr. Nathan P. Brennan
Dr. Nathan Brennan has a Ph.D. in Fisheries Ecology, from the University of Florida. His primary research focus is in stock enhancement, where hatchery-produced animals are released into the wild as a supplemental stock management tool. Much of his work has centered around understanding wild ecology of juvenile stages of key species (e.g. common snook, red drum, red snapper, striped mullet) and applying these findings towards improving post-release performance of the stocked fish. Logistical field work has typically involved post-release sampling of local estuaries using seines, deployment and use of PIT-antenna tag systems that monitor in-situ movement and survival, and tracking of acoustic tags.
