2014 Wrigley Institute Fellow JR Clark thatfishkid is studying the reproductive behavior of giant sea
#bass at the Wrigley Marine Science Center (WMSC) on Catalina Island. With this study he hopes to promote awareness and understand the basic biology of giant sea bass, as well as develop a non-invasive way to monitor and identify their populations. Photos clockwise from top right: Clark sets an underwater hydrophone to measure the amount of sound produced by the sea bass, which is an alternative to tagging; dive partners Clark and Parker House, another Wrigley Institute Fellow; study subjects.
