Big Muddy Forum - Oct. 6
"Beyond Catfish: the Diversity of Missouri River Fish"
5:00 - 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 6 at Power Valley Conservation Nature Center, Kirkwood, MO
Presentation by Andy Starostka, USFWS Biologist, at 6:30 p.m.
Hosted by Friends of Big Muddy and MDC
We all know about catfish and sturgeon, but can you name any other Missouri River fish? Few people know the denizens of the Big Muddy deep as well as the biologists at the USFWS Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office. Biologist Andy Starostka has been studying Missouri River fish for years, and this time he'll give a window into the many fish species that never make the headlines. From minnows to paddlefish, it's a dizzying diversity - and he'll even bring some live specimens for you to see!
