ONLINE PRESENTATION BY COLE BRITTAIN CSU STEVE BAILEY SCHOLARSHIP RECEIPIENT
Cole Brittain is the 2019/20 recipient of the CCTU Steve Bailey Memorial Scholarship at CSU. He is a Master’s candidate in the Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology graduate program at CSU with a focus on research in fish passage. He was supposed to present at our cancelled April meeting, and was nice enough to add audio to his presentation so we could load it onto the CCTU YouTube site. His presentation is on the effects of Substrates on Rock Ramp Fish Passage Structures. Fish passage structures, such as rock ramp style fishways, can be used to circumvent dams and other structures that prevent upstream movement of fish. His project tests the passage probabilities of three native small-bodied fish species that differ in swimming performance (Arkansas Darter, Flathead Chub, Stonecat) to develop criteria crucial for passage success in rock ramp fishways.
