Dr. Bill Layher gave the Sub-unit an opportunity to help with some electrofishing assessments of Bayou Bartholomew, the world's longest bayou! It is definitely a different kind of fish community when you get down under those cypress trees! The Bayou is home to over 130 different fish species, not too shabby for a place that is constantly abused by litter and degradation from thoughtless individuals!
