Professor Dong Fang Deng has been working with Riveredge Nature Center and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on developing a diet plan that helps young fish grow faster. Last week, at our building in the Harbor District, our incoming undergraduate students were able to join an early release of baby sturgeon which were fed this diet!
Riveredge Nature Center is offering our community another opportunity to release baby sturgeon into Lake Michigan. Join us on September 29th at Sturgeon Fest where you can sponsor and release a baby sturgeon! Details about Sturgeon Fest, and more info on why Lake Sturgeon are special can be found here: Sturgeon Fest – Riveredge Nature Center
Prof. Deng, who was also appointed Sea Grant Aquaculture Outreach and Extension Specialist in February 2023, researches and develops fish feed for the aquaculture, or fish farming, industry. Check out her page and learn more about her research at the School of Freshwater Sciences.
