Coregonine Science Webinar Series
The Great Lakes Fishery Commission hosts a monthly Coregonine Science webinar on the first Friday of each month. The topics are diverse, ranging from ecology and evolution to hatchery rearing practices to monitoring of ongoing restoration efforts. Although many of the topics are Great Lakes based, we have also invited speakers from outside North America, given the circumpolar distribution of coregonines. Contact rrbova@glfc.org to get on the distribution list to be able to register for the webinars or click on the videos below to watch the recorded webinars.
