Hello, any chance anyone here has experience or could point me in a direction for people with experience with zooplankton production, especially within floating net pens in either freshwater or marine systems? Mainly interested in cladocerans and larger copepods in freshwater systems. Thanks!

Chicago Chef Maurice Jackson brought his sophisticated culinary take on Copi® fair food to Conservation World during the 2025 Illinois State Fair, and we are loving it! Fairgoers can look for Chef Maurice’s Copi® Stand in Conservation World behind the butterfly house.

This week began our 2-week winter #waterquality monitoring season. We're thankful for our partners at the Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge and use of their airboat while ours is in the shop. Ice thickness on Tuesday was still around 8 inches in most places, though quickly thawing. #UMRR

Fish telemetry folks: Anyone have any HR2 Innovasea receivers sitting on a shelf that we could borrow for a few months for a pond study? Ideally, we could use 8, but can get by with less. Thanks!

If you like fishes, cutting edge riverine research & smiling techs showing off their cool catches in the field, make sure to follow the Illinois River Biological Station. IRBS is 1 of 7 field stations at INHS. It is located on the Illinois River in Havana, IL & has a rich history in stream ecology.
