I took limnology in college. You don't want to hear what grade I received though. There is however, a funny story about the worst camping trip ever that relates to said class.

Maybe it's not so much funny as it is tragic. For me, anyway.

I'm not really gonna be helpful. Sorry.

you could at least tell the story :)
 

The year was '89. I was a sophmore at UW-Madison, and registered for limnology (to see if biology was going to be my thing...it wasn't). I was skipping a lot, and wasn't smart enough to just drop the dang class.

Anyway, we had a camping trip up to Trout Lake in Wisconsin. It was fall semester, maybe mid-autumn. Well, if you know anything about northern Wisconsin in autumn, you can figure that it's gonna be cool. Okay...it turns out it became unseasonably COLD.

I didn't bring a tent, because (as I recall) they said we'd only need to bring sleeping bags. This becomes an issue the very first night when it's in the teens. Luckily, two women invited me to their tent out of pity. Now before you get the wrong idea, it was too damn cold for this to turn into my first menage-a-trois.

Meals sucked. We were dirty all the time from trapsing around lakes and wetlands. The TAs were unsympathetic, and frankly useless to help in any meaningful way.

So to sum up:

Dirty
Hungry
Cold
Tired
No menage-a-trois.

Thanks for listening.

what exactly are you wanting to know about fish??

possible succesful native mixes and stock vs hatch rates.

a brief summation of predevelopmental predation and microorganism management as it relates to oxygen content would be nice too.

barring any of that i will take someone with a solid understanding of nitrate management in a partially closed system with a cultivated watershed.


and someone who can reccomend some plants to stand up to my puppy :)
