   personal_statement: "Darryl Hondorp is a research fisheries biologist with U.S.\
     \ Geological Survey-Great Lakes Science Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  His\
     \ main research interests include Great Lakes fish ecology, fish population\
     \ dynamics, and behavioral ecology.  Darryl leads and directs USGS monitoring\
     \ of Lake Huron\u2019s demersal prey fish, which feed the sport fish that support\
     \ a multimillion-dollar fishery.  Information generated by his team on the status\
     \ of prey fish populations informs critical management decisions concerning\
     \ harvest and stocking rates of sport fish and other predators.  His recent\
     \ research on fish behavior has focused on the use of acoustic telemetry to\
     \ improve understanding of migration, reproductive ecology, and demographics\
     \ of native Great Lakes fish.  He is an expert in application of acoustic telemetry\
     \ to basic and applied problems in fishery science and serves on the leadership\
     \ team of the Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation System (GLATOS), the\
     \ world\u2019s largest freshwater acoustic telemetry network.  Based on a long-term\
     \ study that employed acoustic transmitters with a ten-year battery life, Darryl\
     \ and his team showed that Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) populations\
     \ in Lakes Huron and Erie express multiple, distinct migration behaviors that\
     \ potentially enable these prehistoric fish to adapt to unpredictable changes\
     \ in their environment.  His research portfolio also includes studies focused\
     \ on relationships between body form and ecological niche in native fish species,\
     \ fish trophic ecology and ecological energetics, and mechanisms facilitating\
     \ species coexistence in native fish communities.  Darryl\u2019s research is\
     \ multi-collaborative with a recent focus on projects that facilitate partnerships\
     \ between USGS and tribal fishery biologists."
