PFAS in Invasive Freshwater Fish in SW Florida
|
We are currently collecting fish muscle samples to test for PFAS all across the state of Florida. Collection has concluded, with results expected summer 2025.
Though this study focuses on invasive freshwater species, there is a future project interested in the non-invasive species around Florida. Project lead: PhD graduate student Isabella Cioffi |
