Alex Juan, Andre Buchheister, Darren Ward, Rafael Cuevas-Uribe, Fisheries Biology

Congratulations to recent Fisheries Biology M.S. graduate Alex Juan (’24) on publishing his thesis research in the journal Environmental Biology of Fishes! Co-authored with his advisor Dr. Andre Buchheister and two other Fisheries faculty (Drs. Darren Ward and Rafael Cuevas-Uribe), Alex studied the growth, maturity, and mortality of invasive Sacramento pikeminnow in the South Fork Eel River. His work provides the first documentation of sexual dimorphism in this species and offers critical life history insights that will support ongoing efforts to manage invasive pikeminnow and aid the recovery of threatened native fishes.  Check out his first peer-reviewed paper here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10641-025-01734-3.
