Detailed Description

Biologists clip the tip of one of the ventral fins of a sheefish that is in a cradle in the Selawik River, Alaska. This study was collecting genetic samples to help find impacts of fine sediment on sheefish.  The results were no impacts due to low amounts of sediments present.
