Rockfish Research

Rockfish are really cool, but they’re in trouble right now because they’re being overfished. Fortunately, there are some people who are working really hard to help their populations recover.

In fact, rockfish have the Vancouver Aquarium’s Vice-President of Marine Science, Jeff Marliave, on their side. Jeff and his assistant, Paul Malcolm, are doing all sorts of projects to help rockfish. Paul has already spent over 100 hours underwater studying rockfish. That’s like being in the water for over four days straight!

To see what Jeff and Paul are up to, check out the latest update from the Howe Sound Research and Conservation Group.
