Our silversides have arrived!

Aryn just came back from Hannes Baumann's Lab at the University of Connecticut with silverside juveniles we had spawned and raised there. We have two sets of offspring, one from parents collected in Georgia and another from parents collected on Long Island, New York. Fish from these locations have vastly different intrinsic growth capacity and also show genetic differences in a host of other traits. 

We will continue to raise these fish here at Cornell so we can do cytogenetic analysis (in collaboration with Anne-Marie Dion-Côté) to compare the karyotypes of fish from the two populations.
