This is a very flattering article about me, my coauthor, Kent, and our new book.
Yes, those are jars and jars full of fishes behind him. Of all the fishes he studies, Porgies get the most of his attention. I plan to add to his porgy collection when I finally deliver 3 specimens of a mystery porgy I caught off Ocracoke... but I digress...!
Found you through OBN , gotta love those mystery fish on the Outer Banks!
ReplyDeleteApparently, Kent has known about this mystery porgy for some time. But with teaching and research has not been able to devote energy to identifying it. This fish is an odd mix between a Scup and a Silver porgy. DNA analysis will confirm or deny a new species. When/if this happens, it should make for some interesting news!
