Excited for @Atfredri to defend her master’s thesis today!!!

She’s developed new stable isotope models for Spotted & Alligator Gar based on non-lethal sampling, plus other cool trophic ecology findings!#NichollsBiology #GarLab

LOOK at the tail on this male Bowfin!

Great day in the field, collecting holosteans (gars & bowfins) for #NichollsBiology projects! #GarLab

SHEEPSHEAD: Yes hi, which way is the ocean?

While sampling the Atchafalaya River basin for her thesis research today; @Atfredri’s team turned up this Sheepshead! Typically found in saltwater, but occasionally enter freshwater to feed.

SO META.
In this photograph, we see both an Alligator Gar, and my exact expression upon hearing from @Atfredri that field team collected this Alligator Gar (safely released)! #GarLab #NichollsBiology

We ended the day with no YOY Spotted Gars, but did get a baseline on several sites. We still saw some impressive species; check out the pattern & colors on this male Golden Topminnow!

You guys I was SO EXCITED about this fish you have no idea! We’ve sampled this section many times; this is the FIRST Alligator Gar we’ve seen after months of sampling!
*area is mainly Spotted Gars

One day post-hatch (1 DPH), we can already see significant development in Spotted Gar larvae. More pigmentation, distinct eye, and the suction structure around the mouth (adheres to vegetation in wild, glass in lab)!

Here they GAR! The Spotted Gar eggs adhere to the artificial spawning substrate. Once removed, they’re incubated in different tanks. Many embryos from this spawn are being sent to @FishEvoDevoGeno!

Today we’re back in the Bayousphere Lab @NichollsState for Spotted Gar spawning! Post-injection, gars are placed in tank with artificial spawning substrate, aka pom poms! We should see activity in 24 hrs, embryos in 48. Stay tuned! #GarLab #NichollsBiology

“You get a gar, you get a gar; everyone gets a gar!”
All my #NichollsBiology Evolution & Ecology students get a gar! If you haven’t received one yet, message me/drop by office next semester! cc @MCBrandorando @ciara_disbeetis
