Endangered Redside Dace Spawning Behaviour Study

Ashley Watt (PhD student) has been working on better understanding the spawning behaviour of endangered Redside Dace in order to improve captive breeding efforts for the species. Ashley visited several sites where Redside Dace spawn during the spring and incredibly recorded hours of footage of never before seen behaviours. Her work was so innovative that a recent documentary regarding biodiversity in the Great Lakes used her footage in their film. Some of the footage can be seen at the following YouTube link (click the word “link”)
