Join us as Professor Colin Adams reveals surprising facts and hidden behaviours of Scotland’s freshwater fish.
About this Event

Professor Colin Adams, Chair of Freshwater Ecology at the University of Glasgow, presents an engaging look at the secret lives of Scotland’s freshwater fish. Drawing on decades of field research, he reveals surprising behaviours, hidden migrations, and the ecological roles of species we often overlook. This talk sheds new light on how these finned residents shape our waters—and why they matter more than we think.
