• Fisheries Biologist Intern

  • May 2009 - Aug 2009

  This study aims to evaluate scup morphology throughout its range and determine if differences in fish shape, if any, might represent multiple stocks or species. The intern will be responsible for counting meristics (i.e. fin ray counts, lateral line scales) for numerous scup specimens (300+) and taking digital images of each specimen. The intern will then load the fish images into TPSdig computer software and digitally mark each specimen at pre-determined landmarks on the fish body. These landmarks will be used for fish shape analysis. Basic computer experience (excel, word etc.), some digital photography experience, and any course work related to fish biology is preferred. The summer intern will also have the opportunity to participate on the Northern Shrimp Bottom Trawl Survey.
