OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.&#160; CESU&#8217;s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education.&#160;Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.&#160;
Description: The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research into the potential role of the electron transport system (ETS) assay to serve as a physiological proxy to assess thermal tolerance in freshwater fish species. In addition, although physiological or performance-based traits that confer differing susceptibility to thermal stress among species are of fundamental interest, data for variation in such metrics across species ranges are lacking, particularly for species whose distributions span several degrees of latitude.
