Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) are an important fishery, and along Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula, there have been recent declines in catch rates for smallmouth bass greater than or equal to 18 inches (45.7 centimeters), prompting concerns among fisheries stakeholders.

Much of the scientific results showing how hunting affects gray wolf (Canis lupus) populations is from the core of the species range in Canada and Alaska, where populations are connected and robust, and wolves are numerous. Less is known about how hunting and trapping might affect wolves in smaller populations such as those found in the Rockies.

Smallmouth bass research in Wisconsin may help fishery managers determine a sampling method to index recruitment before smallmouth bass enter the fishery and may address concerns regarding the effects of nest fishing on recruitment.

Postdoctoral Researcher Robert Paine is collecting environmental DNA from Little Chucky Creek, Tennessee, on a brisk morning. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is important for the safety of persons (e.g., life jackets), but also important for gathering robust, quality data (e.g., gloves to prevent contamination).
