Cvas North Scientific Aide
Current•As a highly qualified specialist, I support the management and protection of the state's wildlife and native habitats by estimating sport fishing effort, catch, and harvest of Chinook Salmon and other fishes with the Central Valley Angler Survey team. Also, I am accountable for regularly conducting surveys to count and contact anglers on the Sacramento and Feather rivers. Carefully collect scale and genetic tissue samples from Chinook Salmon for age and stock identification assessments. More than that I contribute to data-driven decisions by collecting field data on angling effort, catch, and harvest of anadromous sport fishes.Some of my key contributions are:• Gathered, analyzed, and documented angler and biological data to determine fish species in the angler catch.• Ensured unhindered operations through proper corrective and preventive maintenance of vehicles and field gears.
