Wisconsin is home to more than 150 species of native freshwater fishes, as well as an increasing number of foreign invaders (e.g., round gobies and bighead carp); thus, much attention will be placed on the diversity at hand (i.e. local fishes). This unique summer course includes visits to a local fish hatchery where participants will discover how the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources manages fish populations.
