Jud Kratzer has been a fisheries biologist with the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife since 2006. His responsibilities are nearly as diverse as Vermont's fisheries. He is involved in the management of Vermont's salmonids, bass, walleye, and esocids, and he is also very active in public outreach and education. Originally from Pennsylvania, he earned a B.S. in biology at Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA before moving on to Penn State University, where he earned an M.S. while studying interactions between smallmouth bass and stocked trout. He earned his Ph.D. at Michigan State University, where he studied lake whitefish in the Great Lakes. |

john.a.magee@wildlife.nh.gov
I've been the Fish Habitat Biologist at NH Fish and Game Department since 2004, which means I get to work on anything and everything, but I focus my time on fish habitat restorations such as restoring connectivity in watersheds, fish habitat projects and a bit of research on how fish use their habitat. My coworkers are wonderful, and I learn something new from them nearly every day. Right now, I am the old man of the AIC Executive Committee as I have been the Secretary/Treasurer since 2006. |
