PNNL scientist appointed American Institute of Fishery Research Biologists Fellow
RICHLAND, Wash.– Duane Neitzel, a scientist at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been awarded the status of Fellow in the American Institute of Fishery Research Biologists (AIFRB). It’s the highest honor the Institute bestows upon a member. Neitzel was selected for this recognition based on his extensive research into hatchery and fisheries projects on the Columbia River and throughout the Columbia Basin.
Neitzel has more than 30 years of experience in the fields of biology and aquatic ecosystems. His research currently is focused on the assessment of impacts to aquatic ecosystems from the development and production of energy, and the management of hazardous wastes. Neitzel’s work has appeared in more than 100 journal articles, symposium proceedings and technical reports.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in zoology from the University of Washington in 1968 and a master’s degree in biology from Washington State University in 1982.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is a Department of Energy Office of Science research facility that advances the fundamental understanding of complex systems, and provides science-based solutions to some of the nation's most pressing challenges in national security, energy and environmental quality. The laboratory employs more than 3,800 scientists, engineers, technicians and support staff, and has an annual budget of nearly $600 million. Battelle, based in Columbus, Ohio, has operated PNNL for the federal government since the laboratory's inception in 1965.
