President’s Message – Perspectives

While those of us who live around Boise might be a bit in the doldrums from weeks of inversion and “snow drought”, one thing proving inspirational is that we are fast approaching our annual meeting - that’s when our Chapter truly shines!

I wish every member could pull back the curtain and see the buzz of activity that goes on this time of year to organize such a fun, inspiring and professional gather- ing for all of us. Only once you’ve been through it do you realize how much work it really takes. Think: conference room bookings, food details, AV, talk organizing, program development, hotels, registration tracking, rallying student volunteers and session chairs - just to name a few things to plan. So, when you’re in Idaho Falls, please take a moment to thank all the folks involved in this year’s meeting for their dedication and time, they really give a lot!

Dan Schill and his ‘operations team’ are doing a bang-up job. The workshops make me wish I could be 2 people at once, and the plenary session is not to be missed, with a truly all-star cast. With just one call for abstracts we have a full slate of talks and posters (great work everyone!), which provide us all with important continuing education opportunities and a chance to network.

As for networking, the students have planned a wonderful social, so let’s all be sure to attend so we can get to know our univer- sity sub-unit members and connect them with useful professional relationships; this is one of the most important opportunities we have to foster fisheries professionals.

And don’t forget that the annual meeting is the one time of year our committees get together, in person, to discuss important needs and plan what activities they might take on in the coming year - and they would always value your ideas and input. Throughout the meeting, the mentoring committee will continue their engagement with students and young professionals to provide helpful guidance on resume-building and interviewing, with the release this year of a truly impressive resource docu- ment with tons of helpful advice. Make sure to stop by.

Also, while at the meeting, look around you at the diverse activities and opportunities the meeting provides, and consider help- ing out – whether by running for ExComm, joining a committee, or helping with the annual meeting planning, we need all of it, all the time!

Looking forward to seeing you all in Idaho Falls! Helen Neville

Student Spotlight Hope Owens

Hope Owens is a member of the Portneuf Subunit of the Idaho Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. Originally from Park City, Utah, Hope is currently a Master of Science student at Idaho State University in the Department of Biological Sciences. She has a long-standing interest in the study of animal behavior, and is currently applying her expertise to examine foraging behavior of Cutthroat Trout in streams from the Portneuf River. Hope has developed an inno- vative camera system to record the behavior of fish over a 24-hour period, during both day and night. She plans to use this information to document the principal feeding periods for Cutthroat Trout to estimate the number of hours and the amount of food that can be consumed by fish under varying habitat conditions and life stages. Upon completion of her degree, Hope plans to pursue a career in fish and wildlife management as a biologist for an agency or NGO.

BYU-Idaho Student Subunit Update

The new year has brought changes to the BYU-Idaho Student Subunit officers. Our former President, Jason Spillett, graduated in December; while we are excited for him, he will be missed. Our new officers are Skyler Smith – president, Darby Rogers – vice president, and Keegan Hammond – Secretary. All three have been actively involved in the subunit and are excited for the opportunity to serve in leadership positions. Skyler and Darby will both be presenting results of their undergraduate research projects at the upcoming Idaho Chapter meeting. Skyler will give an oral presentation on New BYU-Idaho Student Subunit officers, Friday morning of the meeting; he will be reporting left to right: Darby, Skyler, and Keegan on his project studying introduced fishes in Barney Hot Springs. Darby will present a poster on a project determining the impact of a trematode parasite on shorthead sculpin. Be sure to check out both presentations.

To kick off the new semester and get more students involved, we went ice fishing at the Na- ture Park Ponds in Rexburg. It was an excellent opportunity for everyone, new and old, to rub shoulders and catch some fish. It was the first time some people had been out ice fishing and everyone enjoyed it.

2018 Annual Meeting

The 2018 Annual Idaho Chapter of the American Fisheries Society Meeting “Fisheries Scientists Must Write”

Idaho Falls at the Shilo Inn February 28 to March 2, 2018

All-star Plenary Session Panel includes:

Dr. Daniel Pauly - Leading off the plenary will be French-born Daniel Pauly. Dr. Pauly began his academic training in Germany while investigating a small artisanal fishery in Ghana. His Ph.D. work and associated papers related to the von Bertalanffy growth curve are surely among the most cited from a single fisheries doctoral thesis. A few of his creations include Ecopath, FishBase, and SeaLifeBase. His highly cited paper “Fishing Down Marine Food Webs” caught the attention of both scientists and the popular media alike. Dr. Pauly serves as the University of British Columbia Killam Professor, and works with the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries and Department of Zoology. Along with being the author of a witty, insightful book chapter, Daniel Pauly is likely the most cited living fisheries scientist. Both of these observations obviously explain his appearance on our plenary panel.

Page 10 Gill Raker Gazette Volume 37,31, IssueIssue 31

2018 Annual Meeting All-star Plenary Session Panel continued:

Dr. Mike Hansen - Michael Hansen completed a B.S. in fisheries at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and an MS degree at Cornell University. After completing his Ph.D. under Bill Taylor at Michigan State University, Dr. Hansen moved back to Wisconsin, working for Wisconsin DNR and eventually returning to U of W Stevens Point as a professor. He currently serves as Chief of the USGS Hammond Bay Biological Station. Several of his career accomplishments include development of the population dynamics science for setting walleye fisheries quotas in Wisconsin and completion of a large series of population studies focused on management and restoration of Lake Trout in the Great Lakes. Along with being an author of 90+ papers, Dr. Hansen served as Co-Editor of the North American Journal of Fisheries Management from 1997 through 2010, during which time he edited an astonishing 1200+ papers. Mike will be expressing his views on “why fisheries scientists must write” from his unique viewpoint as both a prolific paper author and journal editor.

Dr. Gary Whelan - Dr. Whelan, a native of New Jersey, completed his B.S. at the University of Wyoming, an M.S. at the University of Missouri, and completed his Ph.D. with Bill Taylor at Michigan State. Dr. Whelan has worked on a variety of projects ranging from Burbot parasites to hydropower project analysis to Native American Treaty Consent Decree implementation to landscape conserva- tion on a wide range of spatial scales. He currently oversees Michigan DNR’s research section. His work duties have allowed him to travel to a remarkable 48 of 50 U.S. states and a number of Canadian provinces. Besides publishing over 40 peer reviewed papers, Dr. Whelan is the author of numerous agency reports and other grey literature. Dr. Whelan’s plenary comments will be directed at the majority of attendees, those who will never publish a peer reviewed paper in their careers but nonetheless need to write, and write well.
