Objective(s): To collect numbers of smaller fish, in an attempt to determine where and when hybrid offspring are selectively weeded out;
Project Description: The researchers will collect approximately 50 small fish per lake in an attempt to determine where and when hybrid offspring are selectively weeded out. The majority of fish caught will be fin-clipped and released. Any hybrids collected would be kept, as well as a representative sample of fish from each parent species.
