Perch Research
Carmen conducted perch
research at Pinaus Lake the
summer of 2011. Here, she used
an antenna to follow the tagged
fish around the lake.
Perch is not natural to the area,
has no local predators and is
therefore causing problems.
The research is in conjunction
with TRU’s Natural Resource
Sciences studies.
