Are you a:
High School
student looking for science research project
College student
that wants to become involved in a research lab or field project
Tropical fish
enthusiast that wants to learn about breeding marine fishes
I'm involved in a long term study of gobies from
the Americas, specifically the American Seven-spined gobiid
fauna. These fishes are distributed along the Atlantic coast
from Massachusetts to Argentina and along the Pacific coast
from Baja California to Chile. The study is investigating the
evolution, ecology, distribution, and biogeography of this group.
There are many spin-off projects available dealing with the
developmental biology, breeding behavior, DNA, morphology, distribution
and ecology of the species.
We need help:
Developing
techniques for breeding the species in aquaria.
Collecting
species in the field.
Studying the
distribution and habitats of the species.
Investigating
the larval development.
Photographing the
fish in their natural habitats
Live on Long Island?
You can get involved in the breeding and lab portion
of the research being conducted at Hofstra University's Aquaculture
facilities.
Looking for a different
type of vacation? Join us collecting, photographing,
and studying their ecology in the field.
