Video Title:
Catfish Surgery: Explore Smithsonian
Description:
Blue catfish are a delicious but dangerous invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay. Their ravenous appetites have caused serious disruptions in the food web. But they're also very fast and, in the Bay's clouded waters, tracking their movements can be a challenge. Marine biologists at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center insert small acoustic tags into the fish, enabling them to track them with sound. TV host Josh Bernstein joins SERC biologist Rob Aguilar to perform "catfish surgery." Learn more about catfish surgery: http://sercblog.si.edu/?p=4580
