This lesson uses a real-life event to teach students about wildlife management, in this case of fish. The event was that the white bass, a fish preferred by local Hmong anglers, was moved from one lake to another in St. Paul, Minnesota. Students will investigate the reason the fish were moved, the impact of the invasive zebra mussel, and the type of habitat needed by the white bass. An article like the one referred to in the lesson can be found at http://www.twincities.com/ci_12424283.
