    Hi Carin
    It was really wonderful looking at your blog as well as site.I watched videos too.
    It really looks from there that you love your job.
    I am pursuing my Masters in Science-Molecular Biology.

    I am really impressed with your work and creativity.

    Nice experience.

    Hi Carin,

    Great blooper reel…….

    I’m interested in acquiring info re possible crayfish harvesting in the Okanagan

    Thanks,

    Hi Stu, thanks for the comment! There’s a PDF on my ‘research and publications’ page of a report I wrote on the Conservation Status of Pacifastacus in BC. Not extremely helpful for location, but it does discuss the possibility of harvesting. John Richardson and I are currently working on a paper for some mark-recapture work I did in small streams that should be more helpful from a population-size standpoint and hopefully harvesting. Will be available later in the year I hope!

    Carin,
    Thanks for directing me to your paper. I see there’s never been licenses issued for the interior. I do remember that approx 25 yrs ago, a Swedish businessman was trying to initiate a crayfish fishery. But nothing ever happened. How would I go about trying to set up a pilot/trial project for this?

    Thanks,

    Stu

    Good question. I think that this would involve contacting the Ministry of Land, Water and Air. Our contact there was Duane Jesson, he was the one who initiated the crayfish study. Overall I do think that the large lake populations could support a controlled fishery…but the actual data (and not the speculation) isn’t there for BC. Lots of data for Sweden though. Good luck!!

    saw you on Dr KIKI’s Science Hour on the TWIT network.I found it to be informative and entertaining.How can I get your book ‘the Nature of Human Nature and will it available for the Kindle.

  • Carin on 3 September 2010

    Thank you Melton! You made my day :) You can get the book right here on my website (under ‘Carin’s Books’) or at amazon/lulu/barnesandnoble online. If you get it from me I can sign it for you if you want. At this point there isn’t an e-version, although I’m definitely looking into that! Have a great day.
