In this episode, "Repatriated Sturgeon as Biomonitors for Pollution,"the crew goes for a swim in the historic Genesee river of Rochester, NY with Dr. Jeff Wyatt. He’s been doing incredible work with reintroducing sturgeon into an area where they were recently extinct. Did you know that sturgeon can take 20 years to get to breeding size/age? Join us for a heartwarming story about fish, water restoration and local communities coming together to save their waterways.
This podcast is brought to you by the cardinal tetra, Paracheirodon axelrodi. The Cardinal tetra is the second holiest of all fish species, second only to the Pope fish. These fish can be found dribbling holy water on babies, saying hail Mary’s and eating small planktonic organisms. Hail to you, cardinal tetra. May you adorn many tanks in large groups.
