WARNING: This video contains images of fish dissection. Watch at your own discretion.

As it nears Earth Day in Palau every year, an entire week of activities are planned to engage students, community members, and professionals in Palau in learning and thinking about how we impact our Earth.

For Earth Week in 2020, the theme was "Climate Action: Community Solutions to Protect Our Nest of Life." PICRC produced a series of videos hosted by our research assistant, Ms. LeahMarie Bukurou, which details work that PICRC is doing to provide data and information for communities and decision makers to be able to better manage their natural resources; in this particular case, specifically, pelagic resources such as tuna.

This video is part 4 of 4 in a series. Here, we explore in depth the work that Dr. Alexander Filous, PICRC's fisheries biologist, does in the lab in order to better understand how Palau's juvenile tuna compare to other juvenile tuna in the Pacific region.
