This week Brendan chats with Dr. Margaret Docker about her career working on sex determination in Sea Lamprey that has spanned two and a half decades, the challenges faced in uncovering this mystery, and the recent advances that put the goal in sight. In addition, they chat about an upcoming "Special Issue on the Underappreciated Native Fishes of North America and their Management" in the Environmental Biology of Fishes journal, which Dr. Docker is a co-editor.
Check out the special issue here, along with the articles already published. Submissions will be open until April 30th, so be sure to get in contact with Dr. Docker as soon as possible if you're interested.
Main point: "All biodiversity matters, not just fish with a commercial or recreational value".
