OCCA Be Informed Series: Otsego Lake Fish

Fisheries biologist Dr. Chip Cotton (SUNY Cobleskill, SUNY Oneonta’s Biological Field Station) will discuss ongoing efforts to catalog and update the biological inventory of fish species that inhabit the lake.  He will discuss how the lake’s fish community has changed over the last half century, as well as some of the factors driving those changes.  Cotton will provide practical tips for anglers to help identify closely related and confusing species.  Lastly, Cotton will discuss some of the local research and monitoring efforts conducted by fisheries biologists at SUNY Cobleskill and the Biological Field Station.

This OCCA program will be held at the Clark Sports Center in the community room at 7 pm.
