Summer interns help their professor survey fish communities

Tessa Oberle and Sarah Fanning hold carp sampled in Spring Lake.
Summer biology interns helped Dr. Josh Lallaman, Biology Department, with two contracts to survey Minneapolis/greater metro area lakes. The students assisted with surveying the fish communities in Sand and Long Lakes (Washington County). More biology student volunteers will be assisting with surveying common carp populations in Spring, Arctic, and Cedar Lakes (Scott County) in September. These contracts are a result of collaboration with Saint Mary’s biology alum Mike Majeski ’02, who works for the environmental consulting firm Emmons & Olivier Resources, Inc.
