In late December NOAA announced the discovery near Muskegon, Michigan
of a new invader, the Ponto-Caspian mysid shrimp Hemimysis anomala.
On Thursday, January 11, Steve Pothoven, from GLERL's Lake Michigan
Field Station, will present a seminar on the Hemimysis discovery
(10:30 a.m., main GLERL Conference Rm) See: http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/news/seminars and http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/pubs/photogallery/Hemimysis.html After the seminar, starting at 1 p.m. GLERL will host an informal coordination meeting in our main conference room for anyone interested in joining us to develop a coordinated survey approach to identify where else, if at all, the species has established within the basin, and also to discuss potential research topics and outline the elements of a rapid research response. If you think you'll attend the afternoon meeting, or if you can't attend but would like more information, please let me know (david.reid@noaa.gov). Thanks.
