YOY to the World!

After building two more antennas today, Cam, Tom and I discover a school of young-of-the-year larval Arctic grayling swimming in the shoals of the Kuparuk River. With the adult grayling drift feeding in the main channel, these baby fish, hatched only about a week or two ago, mimic the same feeding behavior as their parents, only with much smaller prey. Back in the lab, Becca works on perfecting a drip feeder for our experimental set-up in order to provide constant food availability and ensure proper growth for our experiment fish. Go YOY!
