Featured Staff: Scott Blankenship, Ph.D., Applied Geneticist Dr. Scott Blankenship is a leading expert on population genetics of West Coast fishes. His interests focus on combining the newest tools of molecular biology and genetics theory with field observations of fish populations and their habitat to create solutions for some of the most challenging issues in fishery management, hatchery operations, and population recovery. Dr. Blankenship is a key member of our Genidaqs team. News: Genidaqs, a new division of Cramer Fish Sciences Cramer Fish Sciences (CFS) is pleased to announce the launch of Genidaqs, a new division created to provide accurate, rapid, sensitive, quantitative, efficient, and cost-effective identification of aquatic organisms. Using unique DNA "barcodes" and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), the Genidaqs technique enables the rapid detection of even extremely small quantities of DNA and can be used in existing monitoring programs to replace or complement visual identification of species.

Project: Merced River Ranch Floodplain Restoration, California In 2008, Cramer Fish Sciences began working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anadromous Fish Restoration Program and the California Department of Fish and Game on the Merced River Ranch Floodplain Restoration Project. The Merced River Ranch was purchased by CDFG in 1998 for the purpose of protecting riparian habitat, improving conditions for salmonids, and providing a long-term source of gravel for the Merced River and nearby projects. The site is located just below Crocker-Huffman Dam in the Dredger Tailings Reach of the Merced River. This area was heavily impacted by gold mining during the turn of the century and is the southernmost extent of Chinook salmon populations. The vision of the project is to restore ecosystem processes and critical habitats for juvenile and adult salmonids, in coordination with local communities and stakeholders, to promote the recovery of healthy and diverse Chinook salmon and steelhead populations in the Merced River.
