Objectif(s): To collect stickleback fish from Fox Holes Lakes. These fish will be used for laboratory experiments to determine the genes that control the number, shapes, and sizes of bones in the skeleton.
Description du projet: The researcher plans to collect stickleback fish from Fox Holes Lakes. These fish will be used for laboratory experiments to determine the genes that control the number, shapes, and sizes of bones in the skeleton. Two members of the research team will travel to Ft. Smith for approximately 5 days during the broader time interval listed (May 1 - June 30 of each year). The most likely time for our visit is mid-May. The researcher will use minnow traps to collect a maximum of 150 adult ninespine sticklebacks (Pungitius pungitius) and 150 adult brook sticklebacks (Culaea inconstans). Traps typically will be set in the evening and retrieved the next morning. The investigator will transport live and preserved specimens to the University of Utah. The researcher would be pleased to present the results of ongoing research with any interested local groups. An exchange of ideas would benefit both parties: the local community would learn more about the genetics and development of the local fish, and would likely learn a great deal about the natural history of the study organisms. The local community showed an interest in the work in 1999, when the visit was covered in the Slave River Journal. In the past, the researcher has described the research to local residents in informal settings. The reserachers would be happy to give a more formal presentation of ongoing work if the community is interested. The researcher will also continue to submit annual reports and pdf copies of the academic journal publications to the ARI for distribution to local communities. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from May 20, 2010 to June 30, 2010.
