Sit Back Seminar: Salinity and the Atlantic Whitefish

The Atlantic Whitefish has an impressive evolutionary history, and as an endemic species that only lives in Nova Scotia represents an important part of Canadian biodiversity. However, this importance is not matched by a wealth of information about the species, and much remains unknown about this little fish except that it is in danger of being lost forever. Join us and Emily Yeung (She/Her), MSc Candidate at Dalhousie University, for her Sit Back Seminar, Thursday, June 29, 7-8 p.m., on her research exploring the physiological ability of the last remaining population of Atlantic Whitefish, which has been landlocked for the better part of a century, to exploit marine habitats as we believe their ancestors did, to restore anadromous populations of Atlantic Whitefish.
