On July 14, 2012, Dr. Peter Park, director of the Nyack College Fishing
Club, gave a lecture on "The Biodiversity of NY Fishes: What We Owe To The Hudson River." The
talk was hosted by the Village of Nyack Library.
Abstract: The Hudson River is home to an immense array of fishes, many of which have great
historical, commercial, recreational, and even aesthetic value. This lecture will introduce the diversity of fishes, highlighting some of the major fishes of the Hudson River ecosystem. Their biodiversity, ecology,
and diversification will be discussed. I hope to answer the following questions (and more): Which fish species occur in the Hudson River around Nyack? How big is the biggest fish in the Hudson River? Why is this river so ecologically important? What are some epic local fishing stories told by our locals? What can you do to learn
more about our fishes? What can we do to protect them?
Speaker Bio: Dr. Peter J. Park, Assistant Professor of
Biology at Nyack College, is an evolutionary ichthyologist who has expertise in ecological diversification of brain and behavior in Alaskan threespine
stickleback fish.
This blog is all about fish. Through fishing and fish research, we wish to teach and instill a deep appreciation for the nature around NY. Community service that expresses care for aquatic wildlife is also our passion.
