Eric Huber from UC Berkeley demonstrates how to remove otoliths from the skull of a store bought steelhead skull. Two tiny pieces of calcium carbonate store a daily record of the diet and movements of every day the fish lived. Scientists and volunteers hope to collect them from dead spawned coho this year on Olema Creek for research being carried out at UC Berkeley. If you watch this, leave a note about who you are, how you found this and what you learned. Fair enough?
