Through a unique intersection of art and science, a recent graduate from the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science is exploring what happens to fish when they first hatch and leave the reef. By taking multiple photographs of fish in their larval state and then creating a complete image made up of all the various layers, Megan Bernini has rendered a more holistic image of what fish look like in their larval stage for the laboratory led by Claire Paris-Limouzy, professor of ocean sciences. Bernini's work is assisting researchers to better understand fish morphology and the changes that occur between the larval and adult stages—an under-researched period in a fish's life.
