Arkansas Cooperators


Graduate students of the Arkansas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit use backpack electrofishers to sample the stream community.

The Arkansas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit is a partnership among the U.S. Geological Survey, the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission, The University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, the Wildlife Management Institute, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Representatives from this partnership meet annually at the Unit Coordinating Committee Meeting to identify cooperator needs and discuss the direction of the Unit
