Fish health principle investigators, students, post-docs, and technicians from different research groups work together as a fish processing team on days when large numbers of fish require sampling. They are collecting multiple tissues from each fish for testing virus infection and host immune response.

Staff at the Klamath Falls Field Station evaluate Lost River and shortnose sucker habitat relative to the presence, abundance, and health of the fish. Sucker distribution among habitats is evaluated using occupancy models that account for imperfect detection.
