YSI Integrated Systems & Services offers the ability to integrate a YSI field cable into a manual, hand crank cable reel assembly. This cable reel gives a customer the ability to conduct a manual profile of a water column using a YSI EXO sonde and a YSI handheld device. The cable reel consists of a slip ring containing 6 conductors specifically designed for the YSI EXO sonde. It’s designed to fit up to 500 feet (152 meters) in cable length.
A standard YSI field cable for the EXO sonde can be purchased at the same time as the cable reel. If the customer already has a YSI field cable that they would like to add onto a cable reel, they can send it in at the time of purchasing the reel and it can be installed.
The standard procedure is that a 10 foot section of cable will be cut on the handheld end of the field cable to be integrated into the slip ring on the reel. The customer may specify a different length that they would like cut at the time of purchase. The remaining length of cable will be installed onto the cable reel drum and integrated into the opposite side of the slip ring so that it becomes mated with the remaining cable to allow communication between the handheld unit and the sonde.

Is eradicating Great Lakes sea lamprey an “impossible dream?” Researchers say no
The sea lamprey’s days in the Great Lakes could be numbered. That’s according to one researcher who took one of the first scientific looks at the possibility of sea lamprey eradication in the Great Lakes. So, can you remove enough sea lamprey to make them disappear? “Well the answer is we already have,” said Michael Jones, emeritus professor of fisheries and wildlife at Michigan State University. “Then there’s the obvious question: Why are they still here?” While multiple gaps in current management techniques, like sea lamprey poisons called lampricides, could account for sea lamprey’s persistence in the Great Lakes, new technology could help sea lamprey managers eliminate inaccessible populations.

America’s Elusive Crayfish and the eDNA that’s Finding Them
The Shasta crayfish and signal crayfish are two similar looking arthropods on two very different ecological trajectories. As one spreads in abundance, originating in the Pacific Northwest and spreading throughout the world, the other has been reduced to a handful of remaining populations spread throughout one river and its tributaries. Pacifastacus leniusculus - the signal crayfish - has met few obstacles in its widely successful expansion from the Pacific Northwest southward in California and Nevada, as well as Europe and Japan. By some expert accounts, it has reached invader status. And while invasive species are rarely good for the surrounding food webs, it’s Pacifastacus fortis - the Shasta crayfish - that’s suffered the most at the signal crayfish’s fortune.

Low Tech, Low Cost Buoys Coming to Maine’s Shellfish Farmers
What might the Maine Aquaculture Innovation Center’ s (MAIC) buoy offer that other governments and university monitoring equipment lack? The center doesn’t have MicroCAT recorders or autonomous acoustic sensing gliders. It’s not deploying hundred-thousand-dollar oceanographic mooring lines gathering massive amounts of data. So what can MAIC’s three-foot prototype buoy offer that others can’t? It’s easy to clean and costs very little. “One of the big issues for putting anything in the water is biofouling,” said Josh Girgis, an engineer at MAIC based at the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center (DMC). “If you put a sensor in, you can only expect it to work until something starts growing on it.
