Project Title: Clear Lake Project - Growth of fish in response to zebra mussels

History: I am currently working on a Master of Science degree in Fisheries Biology under Clay Pierce. My research is on growth of fish in Clear Lake following the introduction of zebra mussels. I am aiming to find changes in the growth of fish as a result of changing aquatic conditions caused by zebra mussels.

My future goals are to work for a state agency as a fisheries biologist. I would like to return to my home state of Minnesota to address fisheries issues there.
