MRI: Acquisition of Hydroacoustic and Associated Instrumentation for Fisheries Research

在Willard Harman博士的指导下，位于奥内昂塔的纽约州立大学获得了一项奖项，以表彰其为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而获得的声学传感系统和其他设备。另外两所大学，纽约州立大学科布尔斯基尔分校和康奈尔大学，将参与监测活动。这项研究将为一种引进的鱼类提供重要信息，这种鱼类在过去的几十年里对当地的湖泊生态系统产生了重大影响。该仪器将用于培养学生的生态和环境科学，特别是在实地课程，将允许学生在独立的研究项目中动手使用。这三所学校都有积极的项目，将代表性不足的学生群体纳入科学领域。

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.
