Jesse Anderson is the resident expert in resistance board weirs
at Cramer Fish Sciences. He uses a broad skill set and intelligent management
style to effectively develop and execute weir projects. Jesse managed the
Stanislaus River weir Project from 2003-2007 [report;
PDF] which utilized a live trap and a Vaki RiverWatcher for data collection.
Directing a talented field crew, Jesse has led weir projects on the
Williamson
River in Oregon, the
Cedar River
in Washington, and the
Feather River in
California's Central Valley.
Responsibilities: Jesse works closely
with senior Cramer Fish Sciences staff in California to analyze complex fishery
problems and to prepare scientific reports and presentations.
Projects/Services: Jesse Anderson's extensive knowledge
of field research techniques greatly enhances the Cramer Fish Sciences
team's ability to produce reliable and informative research results for clients.
Background: He began his fisheries career at Cramer Fish Sciences
in 1999 while still a senior in high school. His first tasks were learning multiple
field sampling techniques, such as rotary screw trapping, fyke netting, seining,
electro-fishing, and photonic marking.
At the same time, Jesse deepened his hands-on knowledge through
education by earning a degree in ecology and systematic biology (with concentrations
in both fisheries and marine biology) from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo.
Personal: When not at work, Jesse spends his personal time enjoying his many
hobbies, including fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, kayaking,
barbequing, and cooking. "I also am an aquarist and enjoy raising African
peacock cichlids. I am also a sports fan and love the Sacramento Kings and San
Francisco Giants."
Luckily for him he's not alone in these pursuits. " I
get to enjoy all of these activities with my lovely wife who likes them just as
much as I do." |
