Congratulations to Jill Goodwin et al.

Tune into the BBC news on-line to hear Dr Andy King talk about his genetic analysis of sea trout as part of the AARC project.

In this short overview, Andy elucidates the objectives and methodology used in the Atlantic Aquatic Resorce Conservation (AARC) project to explore the marine movements of sea trout in waters off the south coast of England.
