It was a little cold, and also I was worried about not influencing the fish behaviorally. I got some amazing footage, though, and I thought how nice would it be to have a little camera mount that I could leave in the stream and just get some video footage while I&#8217;m not holding it in there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31230\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31230\" class=\"size-large wp-image-31230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Dr.-Karen-Murchie-Collects-Data-During-Sucker-Runs-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"underwater camera\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Dr.-Karen-Murchie-Collects-Data-During-Sucker-Runs-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Dr.-Karen-Murchie-Collects-Data-During-Sucker-Runs-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Dr.-Karen-Murchie-Collects-Data-During-Sucker-Runs-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Dr.-Karen-Murchie-Collects-Data-During-Sucker-Runs-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Dr.-Karen-Murchie-Collects-Data-During-Sucker-Runs-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Dr.-Karen-Murchie-Collects-Data-During-Sucker-Runs-940x1253.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Dr.-Karen-Murchie-Collects-Data-During-Sucker-Runs-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Dr. Karen Murchie collects data during sucker runs.

They monitor the same locations day after day to document when the suckers show up. They also document their numbers during their migration and the dates of when migration trails off because we aim to elucidate the timing of their migrations and how it may be changing over time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To enable the team to collect data more easily, Dr. Murchie and two teams of students, from a Design Thinking and Communication course at Northwestern, worked together on a mount for the camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe would meet, and I would tell them the types of research I was doing, and specifically that I was looking to mount a GoPro camera to leave in the stream, and they asked me about the other requirements,\u201d Dr. Murchie describes. \u201cI said, &#8216;Well I&#8217;m hiking into a lot of locations, so keep it small and relatively lightweight, but I need something I can add weights to easily, something that won&#8217;t rust, something that isn&#8217;t too visible.&#8217; In working back and forth, they would take the information and start some prototypes, we&#8217;d meet face to face again and look at prototypes, and they would test to see how it worked based on their designs. It was a fun collaboration, and now I have something that I can use for my next field season.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31238\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31238\" class=\"size-large wp-image-31238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/student_cameras_collage-600x262.jpg\" alt=\"underwater camera\" width=\"600\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/student_cameras_collage-600x262.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/student_cameras_collage-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/student_cameras_collage-768x335.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/student_cameras_collage-940x410.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/student_cameras_collage.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">(left) Underwater camera mount held by engineering student team.

I think it was really exciting for the students to be doing something that was a little bit different that could be attributed to working on a conservation issue in the wild. So they were pretty excited about that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the Shedd Aquarium\/Northwestern collaboration is a win-win for everybody involved\u2014a great example of how education and field research can come together synergistically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is very beneficial for the students to get a look at some other things beyond what they&#8217;re working on, because they go and watch final presentations as well, so they see the other groups of students that they weren&#8217;t working with,\u201d states Dr. Murchie. \u201cEverybody else had medical-related devices, and then my teams had something that was for monitoring fish behavior in the wild. Theirs really stood out as something different.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for research scientists? Collaborating with engineering students offers a chance to mentor, but also a more elegant way to achieve data collection goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31233\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31233\" class=\"size-large wp-image-31233\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Suckers-Gather-for-Spring-Spawning-from-above-the-water-600x750.jpg\" alt=\"underwater camera\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Suckers-Gather-for-Spring-Spawning-from-above-the-water-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Suckers-Gather-for-Spring-Spawning-from-above-the-water-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Suckers-Gather-for-Spring-Spawning-from-above-the-water-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Suckers-Gather-for-Spring-Spawning-from-above-the-water-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Suckers-Gather-for-Spring-Spawning-from-above-the-water-940x1175.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.fondriest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Suckers-Gather-for-Spring-Spawning-from-above-the-water.jpg 1638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31233\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Suckers gather for spring spawning, from above the water.

To just go to the store and buy what you need isn&#8217;t always an option, so often we&#8217;re trying to MacGyver something ourselves\u2014as researchers who aren&#8217;t necessarily well versed in those things. Being able to work with students who are looking at things from an engineering perspective and can actually execute their ideas, it&#8217;s a pretty neat opportunity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shedd Aquarium and Northwestern Engineering students team up to find innovative new tech for studying animal behavior in the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":31232,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,460,5,458,6,8,49,52],"tags":[1456,1458,942,1406,1460,1457,1007,1459,451],"class_list":["post-31228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aquatic_species-htm","category-camera","category-featured-articles","category-fish-science","category-monitoring_tech-htm","category-newsfeed","category-rivers-streams","category-technology","tag-animal-health","tag-dr-karen-murchie","tag-fish","tag-gopro","tag-longnose-suckers","tag-northwesterns-mccormick-school-of-engineering","tag-shedd-aquarium","tag-spawning","tag-underwater-camera"],"remote_post_permalink":false,"remote_post_featured_image":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Custom, Student-Designed Underwater Camera Mounts Help Capture Fish Behavior<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Shedd Aquarium and Northwestern Engineering students team up to find innovative new tech for studying animal behavior in the wild.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/custom-student-designed-underwater-camera-mounts-help-capture-fish-behavior.htm\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Custom, Student-Designed Underwater Camera Mounts Help Capture Fish Behavior\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Shedd Aquarium and Northwestern Engineering students team up to find innovative new tech for studying animal behavior in the wild.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/custom-student-designed-underwater-camera-mounts-help-capture-fish-behavior.htm\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Environmental Monitor\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-02-22T16:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-10-22T20:08:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.fondriest.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Student_cameras_Suckers-Gather-for-Spring-Spawning-beneath-the-water.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Karla Lant\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Karla Lant\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"6 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondriest.com\\\/news\\\/custom-student-designed-underwater-camera-mounts-help-capture-fish-behavior.htm#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondriest.com\\\/news\\\/custom-student-designed-underwater-camera-mounts-help-capture-fish-behavior.htm\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Karla Lant\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondriest.com\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/51170f7bfa3a05b94cea6f517ce4e79b\"},\"headline\":\"Custom, Student-Designed Underwater Camera Mounts Help Capture Fish Behavior\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-22T16:00:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-10-22T20:08:35+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondriest.com\\\/news\\\/custom-student-designed-underwater-camera-mounts-help-capture-fish-behavior.htm\"},\"wordCount\":1041,\"commentCount\":0,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.fondriest.com\\\/news\\\/custom-student-designed-underwater-camera-mounts-help-capture-fish-behavior.htm#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/news.fondriest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/02\\\/Student_cameras_Suckers-Gather-for-Spring-Spawning-beneath-the-water.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Animal Health\",\"Dr. Karen Murchie\",\"fish\",\"GoPro\",\"longnose suckers\",\"Northwestern;s McCormick School of Engineering\",\"Shedd Aquarium\",\"spawning\",\"underwater camera\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Aquatic Species\",\"Camera\",\"Featured Articles\",\"Fish Science\",\"Monitoring Technology\",\"Newsfeed\",\"Rivers &amp;
