Press Herald highlights UMaine research presented at Harborfest
The Portland Press Herald highlighted a presentation and demonstration completed by two University of Maine students at Camp Ellis Harborfest, a festival on a pier that dates back 30 years and returned annually three years ago. Ph.D. students Kaylyn Zipp and Joseph Dello Russo demonstrated how UMaine’s Pelagic Fisheries Lab takes samples from tuna heads to assess the ancestry, age and size of the fish, allowing them to learn more about the tuna population and provide stock assessments.
