Fish

Fish caught in minnow traps upstream and downstream of a tidal restriction (culvert) are being studied on the North Shore to see where there is a greater number of fish and diversity of species. We're also interested in discovering whether or not the size of fish is affected by their location upstream or downstream.

Peces

Los cientificos de MAS están estudiando peces capturados en trampas para peces pequeños colocados corriente arriba y corriente abajo de la restricción de mareas (alcantarilla) en la Costa Norte. El objetivo del estudio es ver dónde hay mayor número de peces y diversidad de especies. También , descubrir si el tamaño de los peces se ve afectado por su ubicación corriente arriba o corriente abajo.
