Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

362 - Elasmobranch reproduction and career shifting with Katie Miller
Q: What has been your most memorable moment in this field so far?
On the first day out with field school, witnessing a large hammerhead's dorsal fin break the water and glisten in the sun stands out as an iconic moment of field biology.
362 - Elasmobranch reproduction and career shifting with Katie Miller
Q: Why is reproduction in sharks important from a fisheries management perspective?
Shark species reproduce slowly and have few offspring per litter, so understanding when and where they reproduce helps inform seasonal protections and size/harvest regulations to support population recovery.
362 - Elasmobranch reproduction and career shifting with Katie Miller
Q: What sparked your interest in marine science and how did your path lead you to shark research?
My interest grew from a mix of curiosity and overcoming fear of the ocean, plus a shift from education to fieldwork after attending field programs, which opened doors to sharks and elasmobranchs.
363 - Tennessee vs Alabama (Bass) with Tom Miles and Cole Harty
Q: What is the Tennessee Tech Black Bass Genetics Lab doing to help manage Alabama bass?
The lab processes fin clips to extract DNA, enabling genetic percentages to identify pure versus hybrid individuals, and is expanding to support statewide modeling and collaboration with other states.
363 - Tennessee vs Alabama (Bass) with Tom Miles and Cole Harty
Q: Could you give us the story on the Alabama bass and its impacts coast to coast?
Tom explains that Alabama bass originate in the Mobile Basin and have spread widely due to human movement and stocking; they hybridize with native smallmouth bass, which threatens pure smallmouth genetics and requires changes to regulations to prevent spread.
