Electric Green Barbs

[MN_Rebel]

I usually kept the ones that don't survived the shocking for IBI samples. I used to have two carps, both caught by electro-fishing, however one of the two seems paralyzed from the voltage that it was unable use its tail. Of course the hot temperatures in the pail killed it when the aerator were turn off by a stupid cat.

Mine were caught with larval fish seines because we couldn't get the boat down to the water. lol

I'll never take a boat or shocker for granted after dragging 10 foot deep net(? it was like a small trawling net) seines, fully clothed, wearing wading boots and a life jacket across stretches of river too deep to touch with the 6 foot handles.

I has yet done that one. I'm still in training with the Fisheries...hopefully next summer!

At Texas State University, that is actually part of the ichthyology curriculum. Dr. Bonner takes everyone on two fish collection field trips where you try various sampling techniques and learn to ID fish down to the species level. It can be a very rigorous course but he had designed the lab and lectures to complement each other.

Lucky! I was sick (stupid mono) and missed two fish collection field trips when I had Ichthyology but the internship give me a chance to experiencing the fish collection.

I almost got an internship this summer with TPWD but blew the interview. Not such a bad thing because I took summer classes and now get to graduate a semester early from my plan and a year or more early from what the university laid out.

Spend time outside learning how the world works. Training your mind with insect, plant, etc. ID will be useful. In school, pay attention in math, biology and writing...because you'll be dealing with a bunch of it. lol Oh and keep reading on this forum about nutrition, water chemistry, etc. Most importantly, question everything. Nothing should be considered true until you know why.

I'm actually veering off to limnology (inland water studies) when I graduate because biology positions are hard to find right now. Internships like what MN Rebel was talking about are worth their weight in gold typically.

Well I go off to highs chill next year and I am looking at a highs chill with a good aquaculture program and I'm wondering if I take college courses in high school to get an associates degree will help a little with the college part of it
