Finally at any time during your Madtom Adventure share your results. I just care that you share. Write up your info , put it in a publication or put it on the web any way you can. For example the Native Fish Conservancy has a huge article data base. Write up what you find out good and bad and they will put it on their website.
Every bit helps.
Perhaps you'd like to get real serious about this Madtom thing. The key to unlocking this mystery is gonna be a cordinated team effort. Organizations, individuals and Universities are going to have to share information , partner when possible and not keep secrets. It seems that the more difficult a fish is to breed the more unwilling people are to share their hard earned information with the outside world. It in effect becomes a race for credit instead of a race for conservation.
