    I am an ecologist
    For 3 seasons my job is superb, out and about: electro-fishing and seine netting, macrophyte surveys, invertebrate surveys, salt marsh transects, crayfish surveys (native and invasive) and occasional overnight hydro-acoustic surveys.
    In winter it is report writing, data input, extraction and analysis. Throughout the year i also have running projects and the usual meetings.

    The recent brown trout surveys, to obtain scales for analysis, are to determine the fishes's origin. If we can prove that the trout originally came from the sea we can obtain funding and look to improve fish passage and habitat.

    Interesting. I did some work at the Faroe Islands partly helping people looking at similar.

    Interesting - You trawl the water and study the fish... we pollute the water and poison the fish!!

    Have you found any new species with three eyes, yet, or are we safe for the foreseeable?

    From what I remember from QI, they already exist. They have a light sensitive area on top of their heads which is sometimes called the third eye. One theory is to detect when birds or other predators were overhead.

    There's a 'four-eyed' fish, but that actually has two eyes that are split into parts, the upper always looking upward. I believe that's the one they featured.

    I'm more concerned with the ones that have three eyes and our logo on the side!!
