Sarah Muellner and Julia Narow are seniors at UMD who just finished their UROP (undergraduate research opportunity program) projects. Each helped with my research while conducting small studies of their own which they presented today at the UROP poster fair.

| Sarah's poster on juvenile walleye foraging |
Sarah helped with the walleye foraging study looking at how water clarity and light intensity affect juvenile walleye. This study will be completed within the next year. Sarah is interested in fishes, particularity cichlids. She may have the opportunity to see some first hand during her next 2 years near Lake Malawi while working for the Peace Corp in Africa.

| Julia Narow |
Julia has helped with the Barotrauma work on Lake Superior working with the USGS and Owen Gorman. Julia helped compare how fish that were treated for decompression after being trawled from the deep waters fared compared to fish that did not receive the treatment. Julia is interested in marine mammals and has an internship this summer rehabilitating marine mammals in Sarasota, FL.
Best of luck to you both and thank you for your help.
