Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Units Program:
Education, Research and Technical Assistance for Managing Our Natural Resources

Camren grew up hunting and fishing in southern Idaho from a young age, which led to a deep interest in the natural world. He earned a B.S. in Fishery Resources from the University of Idaho. Camren has worked in various positions with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, most recently as a lead fisheries technician. He is now pursuing a Master’s degree at MSU, researching competition between invasive carp and native game fish in the Mississippi River Basin. His research aims to develop an index tool that rates the extent of this competition, which will inform invasive carp management.
