Crochet Trout: Studying the Impacts of Human-made Dams on Endangered Trout Anatomy

By Sahiti Namburu, Terra Linda High School

My crochet trout project was inspired by a fascinating seminar called, “How Do Humans Influence Evolution? Studying the Impacts of Human-made Dams on Endangered Trout Anatomy,” presented by Jackie Galvez. Jackie is an ichthyologist (fish biologist) who focuses her research on  understanding the result of detrimental human impacts on various organisms, specifically fish species. Her insights and data on the anatomy of certain fish adapting over time to human influences sparked my creativity, which led to create this unique crochet trout.
