The Department of Marine Biology is offering a grant to conduct preliminary studies on the impacts of salinity and turbidity on longfin smelt. The research aims to evaluate salinity tolerance, turbidity requirements, larval buoyancy, and feeding needs of the species. The study will contribute to understanding the basic physiological requirements of longfin smelt. Closing date: Dec 24, 2017.
