The Smelt Larva Survey recently collected this rare species of fish in the SFE. Do you know what it could be? We think it might be the larva of a Stripedfin Ronquil.

Come help us wrangle some data. The Fish Facilities Unit in the Bay-Delta Office is looking for someone to help us report on numbers of fish salvaged at CVP. Excellent opportunity to learn about data stewardship.

IEP is looking for small craft operators. Who wouldn't want to get paid to drive boats around the Delta?

In addition to conducting real-time monitoring to avoid entrainment into the state and federal water projects, we also conduct special studies to improve upon the monitoring. Here we are testing a prototype "Bongo" style frame for larval fish sampling

This allows us to collect replicate samples at the same time. We can use the presence of a species in one net to inform how well we can detect the species with the second net. This gives us a way to quantify how often we might be missing the target species.

Many research and monitoring programs use a Bongo style net. Her the CalCofi program uses a Bongo to sample plankton in the ocean. Our Bongo frame includes skids to avoid dredging up mud when we contact the bottom of the river.

An exciting position working in one of the largest taxonomy laboratories in the San Francisco Estuary! This position is primarily responsible for identifying zooplankton and larval fish collected during long-term ecological monitoring studies.
