She presented this talk last night at the Susquehanna Tu meeting and it was very interesting, got into the potential impacts of hatchery fish interbreeding with native brookies and the rate at which this might be occurring in the Loyalsock Creek watershed. If you have a chance to go I highly recommend it!
