Somerset Otter Group.
The Somerset Otter Group is hosting a talk on;
‘Fishes of England’s Lowland Rivers.’ By Dr Mark Everard.
This talk will address the diversity of fishes in lowland rivers, including aspects of their ecology and the adaptations of each species. We will look at the life cycles of some species, their diversity of diets, and their place in the ecosystems of which they are a part
We are very fortunate that Dr Mark Everard, a director of Bristol and Avon River Trust and associate professor of the University of the West of England, but probably better known as an authoritative author of British Freshwater Fish, has agreed to speak to us.
This will be a fascinating insight into a neglected area of Natural History, an area very relevant to our studies as well.
