PEOPLE
Avery Dextrase
MSc Student
​
I am a MSc student in UNBC’s Natural Resources and Environmental Studies Graduate Program. I am researching the thermal preference of Sockeye Salmon migrating through the Babine Watershed. Additionally, I am investigating how effectively Sockeye Salmon are regulating their body temperature on their way to spawning grounds and if this impacts their spawning success. This research is being done in collaboration with the Lake Babine Nation Fisheries Department.
