Fisherwomen

Bruce Koike has gone from poultry farmer in Missouri to aquarium scientist in New Orleans to artist in Newport, Oregon. We discuss his unusual career path, the parallels between art and science, and the history of Gyotaku. Of course, we also find time for some great fish stories! Stay tuned for the creature feature to learn about the five major invasive carp species in North America! Check out Bruce’s art: koikebruce.wixsite.com, where you’ll also find a list of his upcoming appearances at art festivals and fisheries conferences. Submit a creature feature to be aired on the show!
