The oceans, lakes, ponds and streams are populated with myriad species of fish which are being assaulted by waste management and harvesting techniques which we, as a society, nation and world, continue to employ. We use these fish as food and recreational sport. This site is devoted to the efforts of the Kunkel Lab to understand the biology of the reproductive process of a selection of key fish species in hope of conserving these and all denizens of our aquatic and marine environments.

Fish populations are a reflection of our human population growth and utilization of our natural resources.   We need to pay attention to these fish populations as early-warning-sensors of how we are changing our environment.
