Fishy business!

Six new classmates were welcomed to Biology on Thursday 11th February! Sealife and some of the Biology students successfully settled the fishy visitors into their new home ready for the research project which starts on 22nd February. The lumpsucker fish will be resident for seven weeks , and the students will be investigating environmental colour preferences and fish behaviour. Watch this space for a link to the 'fishcam' where you'll be able to view the research project via a live stream.

'A grand day out'

Intermediate 2 Biology students visited the Loch Lomond Aquarium on Thursday 4th February 2010, in preparation for a partnership research project investigating environment colour preferences of lumpsucker fish. The students were trained by Sealife staff on tank management and fish health, and had unlimited access to the aquarium for the day.
