Fish biologist Casey Justice works closely with senior Cramer Fish Sciences
staff in the analysis of complex fisheries problems and preparation of scientific
reports. He has a strong foundation in both field research techniques and quantitative
statistical methods, and a strong background in anadromous salmonid ecology, stream
habitat restoration and statistical data analysis.
Responsibilities: Casey is skilled at integrating
field biology with quantitative analysis to solve complex problems in fisheries
science. Through work and education, he has developed a strong background in
anadromous salmonid ecology, stream habitat restoration, and statistical data
analysis. He also has extensive knowledge of various field research techniques,
including snorkel surveys, electrofishing, fish identification and tagging
techniques, downstream migrant trapping, spawning surveys, and stream habitat
surveys.
Background: Justice is a Master's degree candidate in
Natural Resources, Fisheries at Humboldt State University, Arcata, CA,
where he focuses on the response of juvenile coho salmon and steelhead
trout to placement of large woody debris in California coastal streams.
He also holds a bachelor's degree in biology from Colorado College.
As a graduate student at Humboldt State, Casey
excelled in a number of challenging quantitative courses and acquired valuable
field and leadership experience working on a variety of fisheries research
projects as a graduate research assistant and crew leader with the California
Cooperative Fish Research Unit.
Personal: 
"I'm a fiend for most outdoor adventures
including backpacking, fishing, mountain biking, and snowboarding." Casey also notes
that he's also been known to spend his weekends lying around the house,
devoting an unhealthy amount of time to his dog and watching "Cheesy but
curiously addictive shows on television like 'House' and 'Iron Chef'."
"Although commonly reserved for the elderly and socially awkward, I've
also taken a recent interest in racquetball." |
