In her continued effort to learn as much about Fitchburg State University as she can, President Donna Hodge recently joined Biology and Chemistry Professor Daniel Welsh for a tour of the university's Animal Care Facility. Dr. Welsh and students are currently studying the effects of turbidity ("cloudy water") on the reproductive behavior of the rainwater killifish (Lucania parva). Understanding how changes in water clarity may impact the ability to find mates and to successfully hatch eggs may provide insights into how changes in an animal's environment can impact its survival.
