Fisherwomen Katie Osborn

Two exciting announcements: I recently had the great honor of appearing as a guest Jill Corey’s wonderful podcast, Water Women. And, I just had my very first peer-reviewed article published, in the latest issue of the Western North American Naturalist! I’m currently moving for a new job, hence the radio silence. But rest assured, I’m working behind the scenes on Fisherwomen whenever I can, and look forward to the return of Fisherwomen in 2022!Osborn, Katherine, Tim Mulligan, and Andre Buchheister. 2021.

Bruce Koike has gone from poultry farmer in Missouri to aquarium scientist in New Orleans to artist in Newport, Oregon. We discuss his unusual career path, the parallels between art and science, and the history of Gyotaku. Of course, we also find time for some great fish stories! Stay tuned for the creature feature to learn about the five major invasive carp species in North America!Check out Bruce’s art: koikebruce.wixsite.com, where you’ll also find a list of his upcoming appearances at art festivals and fisheries conferences.Submit a creature feature to be aired on the show!

In this episode I speak with Sarah Hoffman, a fisheries scientist with BioMark (https://www.biomark.com) in Boise, Idaho. We discuss her doctoral research on sharks off the Florida coast, and her current work at Biomark finding new research and conservation applications for drones and databases. Our creature feature continues the shark theme and follows up from where we left off last time in my episode with Susie Zagorski. Listen and learn why sharks are more warm-hearted than you might think! If you would like to hear more about Sarah Hoffmann’s work, check out her appearance on the Reality Capture Network podcast last year: https://tinyurl.com/fammd8e4Submit a creature feature of your own to be aired on the show!

Without registration the tag is just a serial number, with none of you or your pet’s information should they get lost. Thankfully, there’s more free registries out there than ever before, such as Michaelson Found Animals (https://microchipregistry.foundanimals.org/), which I use for my pets, and the free pet microchip registry (https://www.freepetchipregistry.com/). So, if you’re unsure whether your pet is registered, or if the information might be out of date, check your pet’s registration status today! Resources (*indicates paywall)Sea Turtle Database: https://seaturtledb.com/about RoboTuna: https://news.mit.edu/1994/robotuna-0921 Farmer, C.G. 2000.

In this episode I speak with Susie Zagorski, who at the time of our conversation was Field Project Manager for the North Pacific Fisheries Research Foundation. We discuss her research to ensure the sustainability of the Alaska Pollock fishery, the largest fishery in the United States. Since our conversation, Susie has switched jobs and now works as a purser on C/P Starbound, a commercial Alaska pollock fishing vessel (C/P is for “catch/process” and denotes a ship that fishes for a species and processes that species onboard). Our creature feature this week is on swordfish and why they’re literally hotheaded.Submit a creature feature to be aired on the show!
