5. Biodiversity Trail River Corrib

Stop 5 on the NUI Galway Biodiversity Trail is on the river path along the River Corrib, where swans and moorhens can be seen while salmon and eels swim beneath the surface. Aidan O'Hanlon (Applied Ecology Unit) discusses some unusual snails found in this area, while Dr Anne-Marie Power (Zoology) talks about the lifecycle of eels. A map of the trail (although not necessary to complete the audio trail) can be found at http://www.nuigalway.ie/biodiversitytrail/
