Tyler Pilger

In this episode we welcome back FishBio fisheries biologists Michael Hellmair and Tyler Pilger. The team sits down with us to discuss the more technical aspects of their jobs - specifically, the tools they use day in and day out to help them monitor, measure and store all types of fisheries related data. Fisheries science is a very interesting field and impacts every one of us (whether you fish or not!) - the data collected, observations and assessments made from that data are often used to shape fishing regulations, water management policy and lots more. If you’ve ever wondered what eDNA is all about, how fish are tracked or what those cement truck mixer looking things are on the river, then this episode is for you.

In our 40th episode of The Barbless Fly Fishing Podcast we speak with the team at FishBio about parasites and invasive species. Learn about parasites such as the Lamprey Eel and invasive species such as the Water Hyacinth and Mussels.
