Fish Survey—Biology students enrolled in the Summer Term at Birmingham-Southern got a little wet and dirty recently by going into the Little Cahaba River near Mountain Brook to seine for fish. The course is listed as BI 101 and is taught by BSC Adjunct Professor of Biology Dr. Lori Tolley-Jordan. The students identified fish that were collected in the seine net as a laboratory exercise. The shallow water and fast currents of the Cahaba River serve as a nursery for a variety of fish species. "This was a fieldtrip to learn about diversity in Alabama in 'our own backyard,'" explained Tolley-Jordan. "Alabama ranks No. 1 for fish diversity, and the Cahaba River basin has the highest diversity of any river in the state."
