Perhaps, remind me in a month or two of your request.

> Presque Isle Bay, PA
>
> A Very Brief Summary (VBS):
> Studies on the occurrence of tumors in brown bullheads in Presque Isle Bay
> have been ongoing for several years. During the course of this work the
> question of possible hybridization between brown and black bullheads has
> arisen. Hybridization could theoretically cause unusual phenotypes,
> including increased incidence of tumors. The aim of this study is to
> establish whether the brown bullheads of Presque Isle Bay are indeed pure
> brown bullheads or whether they are brown/black hybrids. A molecular
> approach is being used to address this question (i.e., PCR of the
> mitochondrial DNA control region and subsequent gene sequencing). As
such,
> we are looking for frozen liver tissue samples or even entire type
> specimens of fish known to be true (not hybridized) black
> bullheads. Tissue samples from 5 individuals would be sufficient for this
> portion of the study. We could accept whole frozen fish or frozen liver
> samples (~5- 0g) and would pay shipping costs.

5
