California-Nevada AFS Annual Meeting is going to be in Long Beach this year. Symposia and abstract submissions are open (symposia submissions close Dec 16) and we'd love to see a bunch of Southern CA fish folks there! Let me know if you have any questions!

The Enhanced Delta Smelt Monitoring Program recently completed phase 3 sampling for 2020. Over 2,700 hundred tows/samples from Jun to Nov and only 22 delta smelt, only 2 fish since the late summer heat waves. Impressive amount of effort. fws.gov/lodi/juvenile_fish_m…
