UNEā€™s James Sulikowski offers expertise on skates with ā€˜Portsmouth Heraldā€™

James Sulikowski

James Sulikowski, Ph.D., professor in the Ā鶹“«Ć½ Department of Marine Sciences, shared his expertise about skates after dozens were discovered dead on the banks of the Piscataqua River in New Hampshire.

Sulikowski told the Portsmouth Herald and Seacoast Online that the species are commonly caught in the area and that the dead fish were likely by-catch. ā€œItā€™s tough to speculate as to how they ended up there, but as there are no other fish around and nothing toxic in the waterā€¦ it was probably by-catch from a fishing trip,ā€ Sulikowski said.
