Brown Bag: Southwestern Native Aquatic Resources and Recovery Center

Wade Wilson will discuss his work at the Southwestern Native Aquatic Resources and Recovery Center. The center is home to a fully functional fish culture facility, as well as molecular ecology, fish health, and physiology & pathobiology laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment and field expertise. The center currently houses over one million fish from 14 different threatened and endangered fish species. The objective of the center is to work with partners to reintroduce species into their native habitats, improve the quality of fish reared through research, and maintain populations in the event of catastrophic loss in the wild.
