MRI: Acquisition of Hydroacoustic and Associated Instrumentation for Fisheries Research

在Willard Harman博士的指导下，已向位于奥帕塔的纽约州立大学颁发了一项合同，用于购置一套声学传感系统和其他设备，以监测纽约州一个湖泊中的鱼类、底栖无脊椎动物和水生植被。 另外两所大学，纽约州立大学科布斯基尔和康奈尔大学，将参加监测活动。 这项研究将提供关于引进的一种鱼的重要信息，这种鱼在过去几十年中对当地的湖泊生态系统产生了重大影响。 该仪器将用于培训学生在生态学和环境科学，特别是在实地课程，将允许动手使用的学生在独立的研究项目。 这三所学校都有积极的计划，包括代表性不足的学生群体实地科学。

An award ha been made to the State University of New York at Oneonta under the direction of Dr. Willard Harman for the acquisition of an acoustic sensing system and other equipment for the monitoring of fish, benthic invertebrates and aquatic vegetation in a lake in New York state. Two other universities, SUNY Cobleskill and Cornell University, will participate in the monitoring activities. The research will provide important information on an introduced species of fish, the alewife, which has had major impacts on native lake ecosystems in the past few decades. The instrumentation will be used to train students in ecology and environmental science, in particular in field courses that will allow hands-on use by the students in independent research projects. The three schools have active programs for including underrepresented groups of students to field science.
