Bluegill

genders exist outside the male-female binary system in hundreds of species in the animal kingdom. For example, red deer has one female and two male genders with one male gender having antlers and the other without. Another example is the fish species bluegills which has four distinct gender classes each with different size, colour, social and reproductive behaviour. Such gender classes are also called morphs. The highest number of gender classes is found within the species called side-blotched…

I am here at this meeting tonight to discuss the possible affects that Malathion, a chemical used in this towns choice of mosquito population management. This chemical has been proven to work on mosquitos and other nuisance insects as an effective form of pesticide. The chemical kills the “pests” by binding to an enzyme known as acetylcholinesterase at the nerve endings of the target organisms. What this means is that it binds to the nerve endings causing an overstimulation of the organism’s…

was my favorite trip. We would wake up early to go to the river and swim until our shoulders were stained brown. While Jack and I were fishing the river we noticed snakes near our fishing spot. We did not think anything of the snakes as we watched bluegill and bass…

The Fish of One Thousand Casts Ever since I was little I had dreamed of catching a Muskie. I had caught several species of fish, anywhere from a little bluegill in a nearby pond, to a red snapper while deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. But at the start of 2017 I set a personal goal to catch a Muskie from my kayak. I did extensive research on this odd fish, just to try and figure out why it was so difficult to catch one. I would sometimes fish for many days and nights in the nearby lakes…

Growing up I lived in a small town in Southeast Ohio called Nelsonville. It was a great place for me to grow up, I had all my family around, and that’s all I really needed. I’ve always lived in the country part of Nelsonville, and it’s where I honestly prefer to be. I believe where I grew up, and the people I was around impacted who I am and how I view the world today. In 1814 Daniel Nelson and his wife Sarah Smith Nelson from Massachusetts bought around 200 acres of land that is now known as…
