Ryan’s thesis research focuses on the importance of appropriate spawning substrate as a key driver of paddlefish restoration success in reservoirs of Oklahoma. Paddlefish, an important sportfish, have been stocked in reservoirs throughout the State, but these stocking efforts have had variable success.
