Ecuadorian expedition

Professors’ trip to South America nets more than fish

After using the backpack electrofisher to catch fish in the seine net being held by Juan Francisco Rivadeneira-Romero (far left), an ichthyologist at the Museo Ecuatoriano de Ciencias Naturales in Quito, Ecuador, and Anita Falconi (far right), a graduate student in biology at the Central University in Quito, Seth Wenger and Mary Freeman sort and collect the fishes for later identification and preservation.
