Join us for a story about European sea bass that is perhaps foreign to many audiences in the Pacific Northwest. European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) inhabit estuary, lagoon, coastal, and marine habitats of Western Europe. Highlighting some discoveries from his past research trips to France, Yangfan Zhang will shed some light upon how this species can thrive in a fairly complex ecosystem. As an important recreational, commercial, and aquaculture species in Western Europe, conservation measures are in place to protect the species. More broadly, he wants to show that human society, as a whole, is tightly connected with the creatures at sea.
