Get to know Hawaii's mullets through the eyes of University of Hawaii undergraduate students Andie Le Doux and Iokepa Frederick. We'll imagine the grand experience of the once great mullet migration that provided sustenance for the people who lived on the coast of O‘ahu while we appreciate conservation work being done in the muliwai (estuary) environments that attract them near shore.

The beauty of this fish matches its home: high-elevation streams in the White Mountains of Arizona. We discuss its conservation successes and the continued commitment moving forward. Tim Gatewood from the White Mountain Apache Tribe and Zac Jackson from our Arizona Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office are guests.

This very cool fish uses its finger-like fins to locate prey on the seafloor and might bark at you if you catch it. It's also at the center of an amazing case study regarding a place-based approach to sustaining wild seafood. Our three guests are a fisherman (Jason Jarvis), chef (David Standridge), and Eating with the Ecosystem's Kate Masury. Calls to action? try something new, eat the whole fish, and get to know your local fishermen!

With a namesake that matches the vegetation found in marshes where it lives, this California native comes in three different forms and has a very impressive skill: females pack an unbelievable number of extremely large young in their enlarged vascularized ovaries and give live birth. Senior Research Scientist John Durand from the University of California, Davis Center for Watershed Sciences is our guest.

What good are they? "Well, what good are you?" goes the famous quote about this fish. Meet the Owens Pupfish: a small, blue, chubby, feisty, extreme, endangered fish that’s native to the Owens Valley in California and was recently celebrated in the newly-established Owens Pupfish Refuge within the Bishop Paiute Tribe’s Conservation Open Space Area. Brian Atkins, Environmental Director for the Bishop Paiute Tribe, and Menemsha Zotstein with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are guests.

Meet a big, beautiful, predatory fish that floats like a butterfly and whacks prey with its wings: the California Butterfly Ray! Scientist and Elasmobranch expert Joe Bizzarro from the National Marine Fisheries Service's Southwest Fisheries Science Center is our guest.

May we have your at-TENCH-ion please? Will the real Slime Shady please stand up? Folklore has it that Tench slime can cure any sick fish that rubs against it. Hence its other name: “Doctor Dre.” Oh wait, oops (checking notes). Hence its other name: "Doctor Fish." Guest Bryan Witte, a fisheries biologist with the Kalispel Tribe talks with us about ol' Tinca tinca including how and where to catch one.
Tench were first introduced to North
America in the 1870s. On our latest podcast episode of "Fish of the
Week!" we're talking all about Tench with a focus on eastern Washington.

The American Eel: very demure, very mindful. So demure, in fact, that nobody has ever seen them spawn! These wonderfully mysterious fish start and end life in the Sargasso Sea with an incredible freshwater migration in between. We continue to unravel some of the mystery around this migratory fish with guest Ámbar Torres Molinari. This episode is dedicated to her late advisor Dr. Thomas J. Kwak and all the amazing field technicians who helped make her American Eel research possible in Puerto Rico.
-
Moooood: plodding, with deep thoughts. Meet the Cowcod. Special guest Milton Love shares how rockfish first captured his imagination as a kid and what he's learned about this particular deep-dwelling West Coast native. You'll enjoy lively conversation, deep-sea adventure, and lessons learned in rockfish conservation.
-
Solomon David (the "Gar Guy") is back and this time Katrina and Guy are talking with him about gars in the genus Lepisosteus. By the end of this episode, we GAR-antee you'll be a lot more familiar with the Longnose, Shortnose, Spotted and Florida Gars...and hope your curiosity about (and love for) these fish will be piqued even more.
-
Meet America's next top model...organism. Zebrafish (AKA Zebra Danios) are found all over the USA: in home aquariums, in medical facilities, and occasionally in the wild due to releases. This fish has some amazing qualities that are helping scientists answer much larger questions about human health. Our guests are Joshua Barber, Christine Archer, and Amber Chiodini - three friends who have all worked with zebrafish in the biomedical research field and host the Gettin' Fishy With It podcast.
-
Stanislaus Sheppard joins on the heels of Alaska Wild Salmon Day to share his Yukon River fish camp experiences.
-
Meet the spike-toothed salmon, a prehistoric Pacific salmon 8+ feet long. With similarities to modern-day sockeyes, this giant species in the genus Oncorhynchus used to spawn in the Pacific Northwest as recently as 4-5 million years ago. What were its spikes for? Why did it go extinct? And is there anything we can learn from past extinctions? Three guests to help us reflect on this prehistoric branch on the salmon family tree: Ray Troll (artist), Kerin Claeson (professor of anatomy at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine), and Brian Sidlauskas (professor and curator of fishes at Oregon State University).
-
Meet a "bendy" shark with beautiful features. Learn what it's like to photograph this striking and shy species, what it takes to catch/tag it for science, and what it needs to thrive. Our guests are Kydd Pollock (fisheries science manager for The Nature Conservancy's Palmyra Program) and Jenn Caselle (research biologist with UC Santa Barbara’s Marine Science Institute).
-
Get to know one of North America's big and awesome native suckers: the Smallmouth Buffalo! Follow along as we learn about population trends and demographics and also what it's like to prepare and eat this delicious fish! Our guests Levi Solomon and Kris Maxson join from the Illinois River Biological Station.

Guy gets all gussied up in his best brown trout ensemble (again) for some banter with Katrina about how these fish made their way to the to the USA and how they are perceived.
