The Roth lab in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University investigates critical issues in aquatic ecosystems by integrating field studies, experiments, and modeling. Our current research foci are Red Swamp Crayfish invasions and dietary habits of Great Lakes predatory fishes.
