Either what Peter says below, or, horror of horrors, actually do teaching on
some level beyond one graduate seminar once a year to support your fish
obsession. (And yes, "biotech" is the stuff of dreams and delusions of
significance.)

Obligatory direct reference to native fishes: working with a student, we
have a 24" X 36" map of north Alabama showing historic flame chub collection
sites and which sites have or have not produced flame chubs during visits
over the past 15 months. It's better than biotech, it's a GIS application
(really!).
