Sunday, 22 March, 2026
On this weeks episode Brendan is joined by Jason Barnucz, an Aquatic Science Biologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Ontario Mussel team to talk about his 30+ years of field work in Ontario working on species at risk, including his work on the ground floor of the then new Species at Risk program in 2002! We also dive into Jason's new work with the mussel team, why he made the switch, a bit of his work with anglers in Ontario, and him and his sons recent forays into kayak fishing around Ontario.
