Small mouths lead to big problems? Non-native smallmouth bass in BC lakes
The impacts of introduced non-native smallmouth bass in BC lakes remains undefined, however the species� life history and ecology suggest they have the potential to cause serious disturbance. Understanding how smallmouth bass interact with native species, especially salmonids, in lakes throughout BC is a prerequisite to identifying high-risk habitats warranting active smallmouth bass control. Martina Beck�s project in Okanagan lakes hopes to tease out the trophic relationships between smallmouth bass and native species. Meet at 7:30 pm Rm 159 Fraser building, UVic. Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend and a coffee mug.
